Terion Stewart - Dominates on the groundStewart recorded 14 carries for 161 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's 41-17 victory over Fordham.

ImpactStewart demonstrated a consistent ability to dominate on the ground, as he also averaged 11.5 yards per carry. Although Bowling Green had the liberty of a blowout win, the junior running back's performance foreshadowed a dominant campaign forthcoming.

Lucian Anderson III - Gets in during winAnderson was 1-for-1 passing for two yards during Thursday's 41-17 win versus Fordham. He also had two rushes for 27 yards with one touchdown.

ImpactDue to the nature of Bowling Green's blowout, Anderson was able to get into the game and ended up capping on a rushing touchdown. This could signify him being the primary backup to play caller Connor Bazelak for the season, but nothing is set in stone as the Falcons were up by so much and already leading 27-3 at half.

ImpactThe senior quarterback's performance against Fordham wasn't bad overall, but he was overshadowed by Terion Stewart's dominant three-touchdown rushing performance. Bazelak did undergo a leg surgery during the offseason which could have accounted for Bowling Green's overreliance on the run, and this game was a blowout which also shouldn't be an indicator for the entire season to come.
