Albany vs. Colgate - A toss up, but I'll give the Danes the advantage at home.
Bryant vs. Marist - Bulldogs should start the season strong.
CCSU @ Stony Brook - I hate to say it, but Central takes this one on the chin.
Duquesne @ Old Dominion - Dukes will make this interesting and show up well.
Monmouth @ Lehigh - Both teams will have issues spreading their wings in the opener.
RMU @ North Dakota State - Won't be anything as close as their playoff game was.
Sacred Heart @ Morgan State - I think the Pioneers have more than enough to top the Bears.
SFPA @ James Madison - Won't be as close as the CCSU/JMU game last year.
Wagner @ Florida Atlantic [Friday Game] - I think FAU is awful and Wagner has a shot, but doesn't have the speed or depth.

Albany 27 Colgate 24 - Should be another really good game between these two
Bryant 31 Marist 14 - Bryant appears to be one of the top teams in the NEC
Stony Brook 28 CCSU 10 - SBU should roll...
ODU 42 Duquesne 27 - The Dukes put up a good fight but ODU has too many weapons
NDSU 31 RMU 3 - umm..next
Sacred Heart 24 Morgan State 20 - I don't have a clue
FAU 40 Wagner 20 - Bad FBS team beats bad FCS team
JMU 45 St. Francis 21 - Mercy points at the end for the SFU
Lehigh 37 Monmouth 14 - Lehigh has too much speed and depth for MU.

Albany vs. Colgate - Probably closer than I thought when I picked this game in the PL thread
Bryant vs. Marist - Have not seen much from the Red Foxes over the years
CCSU @ Stony Brook - CCSU is in over their heads
Duquesne @ Old Dominion - Ditto for the Dukes
Monmouth @ Lehigh - A double (even triple) dog ditto for Monmouth
RMU @ North Dakota State - What drunk scheduled this one?
Sacred Heart @ Morgan State - No opinion, but I've heard "Morgan State" and "football" used in the same sentence before
SFPA @ James Madison - St. Francis in a game at a CAA team? No way.
Wagner @ Florida Atlantic [Friday Game] - Another way too big mountain to climb

Albany vs. Colgate - I think Bryant wins this one at home
Bryant vs. Marist - I would be surprised/disappointed if Bryant didn't win this week 1 matchup.
CCSU @ Stony Brook - SBU should be a great time this year, I think they win this one by 2 TDs
Duquesne @ Old Dominion - I want to pick the Dukes (I may have even picked them in Clenz challenge), but I am going to go with ODU.
Monmouth @ Lehigh -I think Lehigh will be too much for Monmouth and wins without it every really being close
RMU @ North Dakota State - unfortunately a no-brainer of the week. NDSU wins big, although I think RMU will have a rebound year
Sacred Heart @ Morgan State - going to go with SHU on this. I think they surprise MSU on their home field and take the win
SFPA @ James Madison - JMU wins its opener, another no-brainer
Wagner @ Florida Atlantic [Friday Game] - I would love to see the upset, but I think FAU wins this one easily.

Albany vs. Colgate- Sad to see Albany go!
Bryant vs. Marist- Bryant in a blowout
CCSU @ Stony Brook- In a close one
Duquesne @ Old Dominion- Love what Wilders doing even though he poached half of Maine's staff
Monmouth @ Lehigh- Just a bad matchup for the Hawks
RMU @ North Dakota State- a 21-7 game at the half two turnovers and a three and out turns into a 42-7 game
Sacred Heart @ Morgan State- Just because
SFPA @ James Madison- No brainer here
Wagner @ Florida AtlanticI can respect Wagner for taking this game

Albany - no longer an upset
Bryant - Theyre pretty tough this year
SUNY SB - A good tough team
ODU - pretty close
Lehigh - Another good Lehigh team
NDSU - Hard to stop the champs
Morgan - I dont expect much of either
JMU - I think my flash score some points

Albany vs. Colgate
Albany wins a close one at home under the lights.
28-24

Bryant vs. Marist
Jordan Brown slices through Marist and I'll stick with my normal forumla.
Bryant + Home Game = Win
31-20

CCSU @ Stony Brook
Stony Brook return 17 starters and now add Iowa transfer Marcus Coker to the backfield along with Sr. Miguel Maysonet. SBU could be one of the top teams in the FCS this year.
35-17

Duquesne @ Old Dominion
I think the Dukes are going to make this game very close but they will just come up just short.
23-21

Monmouth @ Lehigh
Monmouth will have their hands full with trying to contain Lehigh's WR Ryan Spadola
35-20

RMU @ North Dakota State
Sr. QB Jeff Sinclair is suspended for the 1st 2 games of the 2012 season...OUCH
41-17

Sacred Heart @ Morgan State
Taking the home team
13-12

SFPA @ James Madison
The score might not reflect it but I finally think we start seeing a different SFPA team in 2012.
42-10

Wagner @ Florida Atlantic
At least the game is on ESPN3
45-13

Okay, Bryant faithful.... What the heck happened??

I didn't get to watch the whole game because we left about 7 minutes into the third quarter. However, the backside pressure was killing the offense. Westerhaus had to roll out for every pass and it messed up the rhythm. Jordan Brown looked bad and had more rushes losing yards than gaining (at least until we left).

The defense was the biggest surprise in that with all those returning starters they looked bad. I do not know the exact percentage, but I would say close to 60% of Marist plays ended up being a breakdown by their OL and the QB ended up scrambling for a big gain.

Also, the good/bad of Coach Fine is he sticks to a plan, and he showed nothing different. Rush with Joordan Brown up the middle, roll out Westerhaus and throw to Jordan Harris. It was predictable, stoppable, and tough to watch.

I think with 4 new OLmen the team is really going to struggle most of the season. I thought with Westerhaus, Harris, Brown, Perry etc... the team could deal with the young OL, but it looks like the kids aren't mature enough to play strong as a unit.
