We look pretty good on paper....

But so does everyone else. I love that our O-line and D-line look to be the heart of our team with lots of experience. What makes me nervous is we really don't have any experienced great play-makers. Mancuso looks good, lots of experience and has thrown some great balls. Aaron Dykes has the potential to be a real stud. Some great talent at wide receiver and kicking game. Defense can be really special - hopefully the d-backfield gels and we dominate as we have the potential with the depth, experience and talent at D-line and LB's.

We just haven't had the collective experience and success we need to be successful in the CAA - which looks really strong this year.

If the team can play together and really leverage all our individual talent it could be a special year - can't wait for the 4th!!

We lack depth at RB and we are relatively small-Dykes,Black,Smith.
Howard is out for the season and Webb looks like he is still on the mend.
With 8 tough CAA games and Tech,3 running backs may not be enough.

We have the habit of overworking Dykes-RB,KR,PR.A formula for disaster.

Without a durable running attack,it will require Mancuso to do more running himself or pass when he shouldn’t.That’s a very familiar blueprint.


Other rostered backs are Huhn and Garcia Jr.(frosh) who was an excellent back from NC.

Definitely think that’s the area of concern on offense….along with Durden.

that being said, really do think our defense could be good. Hopefully we don’t have to count on them to score points as well. Overall, best roster in awhile. Hopefully translates to wins.

Edit needed - Ritten out is really tough. Injuries always an issue at FCS and losing someone of his caliber really hurts.
