Based on this we can only overachieve this year.

If you are thinking about jumping of the ODU Football ledge, don’t read that link.

Anyone who was going to jump probably already was halfway to the earth when they opened it on their mobile devices.

The UE writers aren't wrong, or at least their logic is unassailable, but it's nothing that even the optimists wouldn't acknowledge. Though I think they overestimate the effect of Larussa's departure; he did a great job but it's not as though Heinicke was transferring, and it's possible he wouldn't have won the job next season anyway.

Sadly, that’s exactly how I see it too, with the possible exception of QB. I think someone will step up and be as good as Blake. But who will catch the ball and will he have time to throw it?

I think people will be surprised with the WR/TE group. There were some young guys that made some huge catches last year. They just didn’t get many chances behind Fulgham, Duhart and Harper

Agree with WR. We will have to spread it out more and we also have a diverse group of tight ends that can be moved around. But, without good QB play, it doesn't matter. The running game will hopefully help.

Yep, while still buying 5 seats for six games, barring unforeseen circumstances being at all six games, and cheering the Monarchs to pull off upset wins in all 12 games. Let's go Monarchs!
