Again, I get what you're saying.  But watching BGSU tapes will give them some intel on formations, snap count, etc.  But Matt Johnson isn't Eric Dungey.  That stuff only gives you so much.  I believe that there are things players like Philips, Moe Neal, Estime, Strickland, and Fredricks can do that their counterparts on BGSU might not have been able to.

And that works both ways.  Maybe Johnson can make some throws that Dungey can't.   Or maybe his second year immersion in Babers's system enabled them to do things differently than what we'll see this year.

I completely agree that they'll watch old game film of SU, too, and probably spring game footage.  But seeing how our players lined up last year and the things we had them do in another system will be fundamentally different than how they're utilized in Babers offense.  Knowing what's coming and being able to stop it are two different things.

Not even sure that I'm arguing with your point, BTW--just excited for SU football and enjoying being able to chat about it!
