I would be shocked if Towson didn't win at least 5-6 games in the conference.

The league is a far cry from what it used to be

I would consider Villanova a tier above New Hampshire, realistically, winning 5 total games would be an over achievement based on how young and inexperienced our squad tends to be this year. I can only hope for incremental improvement over the course of the year and building towards a 2016 contender. This is going to take two years to right the ship, transfers could help speed the process if they decide to go back to that route.

100% agree. This is a total rebuilding year. A lot depends on how the line progresses but I have no idea who is starting, game to game. I think they are trying to figure out who will be there next year and which ones will be left behind. They need to go the transfer route next season, but have to find out which positions they need to fill. I think you start at linebacker, then move to WR (preferably one who is 6-2, 220), maybe TE, cornerback and Oline depending on how they progress. Then at QB, they need one assuming Knudson is not ready and they could always move Connor to WR. But I thought he played his best game today so at least he's improving.

The biggest disappointment for me is the offensive line which had all those extra practices last year due to the playoffs, it's one thing when you're young and need to get some seasoning and experience, however, when the level of talent isn't there and you miss on a couple of recruiting classes this becomes a major setback. It's apparent we have quite a few misses with the previous classes, hence, the reason we are playing the Frosh.

We have possibly the best offensive line coach in the FCS, I can see him bringing these young players up to speed by the end of the year. Just disappointing we missed out on some previous classes.

I have no issue with QB, I can't see how a drop back pocket passer would work at all based on the current personnel up front. Conner's running ability is the true value he brings at QB, if we can't run the ball the offense won't function.

Kudos to Rob for giving T.West his blessing to go after his dream last year. We all thought it was the right decision, and this year confirms it.
