coming from the Big South conference with most of an offense that averaged over 30 points per game and a bushel basket of BCS/FBS transfers, it's hard to say how Campbell will fare in the CAA this season, but by the time they reach The Brick House for Homecoming on October 28 we should have a good idea what we'll be facing!
Camel's Head Coach Mike Minter says he'll field a team that is tough, smart, fast and physical...he calls the CAA "the SEC of FCS football"!...his Portal Transfers come from prominent programs from coast to coast...UCLA, VT, LSU, NC State, etc.
despite all this, the CAA preseason poll projects the Camels in 11th place...if Minter can meld the transfers with his returning players, Campbell could be one of the surprise teams in the CAA...it seems like every year at least one squad far exceeds expectations...Buies Creek will be rocking on August 31 when the Camels host defending CAA Champion W&M in their first ever CAA game...that should tell Minter a lot about how far the Camels have come, and how far they have to go!
October 28 will be Homecoming at Richmond...the Spiders certainly can't afford to let a bunch of Camels ruin the celebration...but it shouldn't surprise us if we get a battle!..
enjoy this special Homecoming edition of the Countdown...
Go Spiders!
