Honestly, they could. That’s a lot of production to replace and they have a brutal three game road stretch with UVA, Utah St and Troy to start the year. The outcome could set the tone for their year.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 8:19 pmSo App will be favored?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 1:30 pmQB, top RB, and 4 of their top 5 WRs.

JMU looked good on their first drive when they kicked a FG, which I thought at the time was a mistake on their part (turned out to be the difference), collapsed for that 11 minutes, then rebounded and looked good the rest of the game.

Re: ESPN 2023 projection
JMU accessed the portal for QB and other positions. We have ECU, UNC and Wyoming...all bowl participants in prior year...and a pretty good FCS team...our schedule is not too shabby either.
We play at their place. We will not be favored in the off-season.By the time we meet, both teams will have a resume by that point and who knows the favorite per Vegas at that point.

Re: ESPN 2023 projection
We have some young players in important positions this year. I’m going to break the season into two equal parts. I’m not as interested in our record through the first 6 games as I am the last 6. Improvement throughout the season shows hope and promise to return to top of the conference.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 5:16 amJMU accessed the portal for QB and other positions.

Re: ESPN 2023 projection
ESPN's FPI (a nonsense metric IMO) has App as the third best Sun Belt team.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi/_/group/37
If you look at all 12 games, we're favored by FPI in all 8 Sun Belt games, but underdogs at UNC and Wyoming

Re: ESPN 2023 projection
Interesting that we are still so high and Marshall is above Troy. I do think a lot of people are sleeping on Marshall. 8-4 last year with bad QB play. Any meaningful improvement in their QB play and they will beat VA Tech and NC StateT-Dog wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 12:31 pmESPN's FPI (a nonsense metric IMO) has App as the third best Sun Belt team.

Re: ESPN 2023 projection
Maybe not if whoever our new guy is can hit an open receiver and can keep a defense honest as a running threat.

Re: ESPN 2023 projection
Interested to see the new Texas State qb. He was very highly recruited and had flashes of good ball while at Arkansas.
