Those 24 redshirt freshmen are going to have to contribute right away if the Colonels are going to have a successful year. With the offense that Jay Thomas oversees in Thibodaux, they are going to always be a threat for the 'W'.

I do like their OOC games - Jax St and Duquesne - against FCS competition. Should be a fun year down in Colonel Country.

I know I'm excited for it. I have a feeling we might not win too many but it'll be some close fun games.

But who knows, it was a trial by fire last year so these younger guys might be ready to contribute right away!
