That looks like a real good article to read, but I cant open it.

I was just looking at the depth chart that was posted this A.M. for the USAF game.  A couple of things jumped out at me, and I wonder whether anyone has any insight:

-- Isaiah White is nowhere to be found.  This is his senior year, and I had taken the news that he had been moved back to RB (his normal position) as a sign that his prime time with the Seawolves had finally come.  But, he was never mentioned or seen on the promo videos during the summer.  He was such a highly rated prospect out of HS, but has never gelled here.  Anyone know what's up?

-- The other RB that doesn't show up on the depth chart is Kameron Pickett.  I thought he was destined to play a major role based upon the hype he was getting.

-- I was also surprised that Tyrone Wheatley at TE didn't show up higher in the rotation, based upon the attention he got when he transferred.

Interesting that some potential key players  are missing in action .  Maybe we will get some double speak  eventually from  the coaching staff.

Ahead of NH and Delaware?? Fake rankings..

Final - Maine 35
          New Hampshire 7

Final - Rhode Island 21
           Delaware 19

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The conference homer in me wants to make this out to be the rest of the CAA being stacked more than UNH and Delaware being overrated. Time will tell. Maine could be legit, but Rhody winning might be a fluke. They never win 

UNH/DEL as 2/3 preseason CAA poll was too high IMHO. There is a large quality dropoff after JMU and any one of five or six teams could have been be ranked right behind JMU (including SBU, Villanova, Elon, etc.) in the CAA.

So, these were CAA upsets, but not huge CAA upsets IMHO. (URI or Maine beating JMU would be a huge upset)

Last year URI opened up like gangbusters, taking FCS Central Michigan to the wire before losing in overtime. And Delaware is no Central Michigan. And last year UNH was mysteriously obliterated by a weak Holy Cross (Patriot League) team 51-26 so losing badly to Maine is not entirely unprecedented.

The other thing with New Hampshire yesterday: they were without Trevor Knight for a majority of that game. He was carted off early in the first half, and that's when the wheels really fell off. Doesn't fully explain their defense giving up 35 and 450 yards, but might account for how they were held to 116 yards of offense, half of which came on one play.

Air Force reminds me of a lot of Army . They are not that big  compared to our guys -the downside is there are 85 of them with schollies .  Add the altitude at the academy and maybe mid day heat it could be a long afternoon .  Our guys need to stay hydrated and be aware of their breathing .  Should be an interesting game.  As for UNH and Delaware losing that's great. We face both of them this season .
