Yeah we returned a lot but graduated our QB, also young at LB. Otherwise, we have arguably the best backfield in the conference, an experienced OL, big capable WR's, a very aggressive pass rush and pretty deep at corner and safety. All that being said. We had a ho-hum victory over a top 25 FCS Albany last week, 31-17. A lot of the game was in driving rain but most were surprised that we weren't able to run the ball better against them. There was not the "push" from the OL you'd want to see against an FCS school if you were planning on relying heavily on the run game while your new QB gets settled into his role. QB looked alright but turned the ball over a couple times forcing throws. The defense looked good though. 7 sacks against a team that really didn't throw the ball that much.

I think we'll win and cover the spread but take no responsibility if you put money on the Monarchs.

Pigskin Mania, so just 1 of 5 picks this week. It's down to you guys or Iowa over Iowa State. Either way, holding you responsible.
