Hello I am new here, I'm just wonderin if anyone knows where I can find detailed returnin starters for all fcs teams at? Website I used lastyear is very good, but I'm not sure when it will be updated. Phil Steele use to make a nice fcs magazine, would be nice if he still did to have all that info in 1 place. Thanks to all who can help

I'm not sure of one that does FCS. I know everyone, including Phil Steele, who previously did a FCS mag lost so much money that they could not afford to continue doing it. What made it even tougher is that those magazines did not really pay the people who wrote them but depended on people doing it as a labor of love and still could not financially continue doing them.

Calculating returning starters might be the most inexact science there is.....

What truly constitutes a returning starter? Accountants would be good at it . Even so , I can come with a number ranging from 4-25 for Lehigh...

Lmao, owl ,counting all guys who started games 25 a pretty solid number. Heck, we have 2 at QB,at least.6 at LB,5 on DL and so forth.
To answer the question, Steele was superb,now very little. Best bet a lot of conferences put out team profiles ( a recap of each schools preseason release). PL puts theirs out in Aug. Check conference sites,otherwise a team by team project. Good luck.

Players starting every game and an excel sheet is all that is needed to make a list.

True enuf ,centennial. Devil is in the details. QB inj un 6th game. #2. comes in for last 5. Is he a starter. To me yes.

^Good example but I'd probably disagree. Injuries need to be discounted unless the player sits out the whole year. It should be who is playing when all are healthy which is usually best defined by opening week starters though occasionally someone us unhealthy week one or is unseated as the starter a week into the season. With the QB example, there's some live game experience that a backup wouldnt see but thats not true of most positions. True 2-QB systems also throw a real wrench into that equation. Quite tough to measure though I'd imagine most outlets go by majority of games.
