    Thanks for the updates, waiting for the rather obvious Patriot League standings.

    UDel and URI at 2-6? Ouch.

    I have a hard time seeing Villanova going 6-2. They lost quite a bit on defense, their QB situation is pretty average and they'll be breaking in a new head coach. They also took some assistant staff hits.

    I'll take them one at a time. Villanova will beat Lehigh the same way as last season.

    Running the football 50+ times. Lost some big names on defense, but the back 8 is essentially intact in their 3-3-5 except Calitro @ OLB. (Nova has depth there & the probable replacement was a stud in Pitt game). That will help slow down the Lehigh's pass offense. The front 3 have the biggest question marks especially with Kpassagnon taking his beastly act to the NFL.

    As far as the CAA it's JMU on the top of hill & we'll sort out of the rest.

    I mean, that is the blueprint to beat us and until I see differently, I have to assume we will get ran on. That being said, anything could happen in one game at home. The offense could go off, penalties, turnovers. Not so much an issue for Nova, but for Lehigh this is the biggest game of the year as far as being tested on a national level. After this, not much will move the needle. Scheduling Wagner was a terrible mistake (but at least I can go to it).

    How do you have Albany going backwards when they bring back almost every skill position and have bulked up everywhere?

    I think Delaware is better than 2-6 in conference with Rocco at the helm. For the same reason Richmond is a bit of an unknown until we see a few games. The season opener in Huntsville will be telling.

    Which two games do the Dukes lose?
    Maine
    @UDel
    Villanova
    @W&M
    UNH
    @URI
    Richmond
    @Elon

    This is too easy:

    1. JMU
    2-12. Everyone else
