Sounds like UNH will be a quality opponent. Toledo needs to come out strong to take care of UNH. I would think UTs O-line would wear them down eventually. We will see. I hope UT doesn't look past UNH, because they should be a good test to get the new QB in sync for week #2.
Two New Hampshire Wildcats were named preseason FCS All-Americans on at least one team. First team wide receiver R.J. Harris and second team offensive lineman Mike Coccia.
And looking back to last year, first team quarterback is Vernon Adams of Washington State.

After the first quarter in Ames, Iowa State leads North Dakota State 7-0.
At the half at Iowa State, the Cyclones trail North Dakota State 17-14.
Going to the 4th quarter in Ames, and Iowa State trails North Dakota State (which I believe is ranked #1 in at least one FCS poll) 27-14.
Iowa St. is getting spanked by FCS North Dakota State in their own place. Yikes.
Final in Ames: North Dakota State 34 Iowa State 14.
At the half in Muncie, Ball State leads Colgate 20-7.
Early in the second quarter, Missouri leads South Dakota State 21-7.
At the half, UMass trails Boston College 6-0.
Early in the second quarter, Miami trails Marshall 21-0.
Midway through the first quarter, Buffalo leads Duquesne 14-0.

End of the first quarter in Buffalo. Bulls still lead Duquesne 14-0.
Halftime in Oxford. Miami trails the Thundering Herd 28-3.
Ball State beat Colgate 30-10.
At the end of three quarters, UMass trails Boston College 20-7.
South Dakota State is hanging in there at Missouri. Jackrabbits just got a touchdown and went for two to cut Missouri's lead to 21-18 with 10:28 left in the 3rd quarter.
Seems early to be going for two points, but it worked.
In case you didn't know, this one is on ESPNU if you're interested.
