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 .
High temperature is only supposed to be 78 degrees.
The altitude is bs!  Played 2 lax games at midfield in 3 days versus Air Force and Denver and no problems whatsoever!

not just SB- but look at the other games- we could very well see more than one CAA-FBS upset this weekend: http://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard/_/group/48/year/2018/seasontype/2/week/1

Yep. All of them are winnable for the CAA including our game. The closer and closer we get to kickoff, the better I feel.

Absolutely. They run the triple option just like Army. Their guys are no bigger than ours and could likely be smaller actually. They'll definitely be smaller than the USF team we played, and we hung with them the whole game!! The key to the triple option is discipline and I think our defense will fare fine against it. My only concern is the altitude. If we can run the ball well though and control the clock, that will be mitigated. I'm excited!

If you get there before the day of the game, the altitude is not a factor.

Both Bryant and Rhode Island have HC that either came on last or this year and both of these guys have won at every level and in both cases it would not surprise me if they were in very tight games with SBU.

Jim Fleming who coaches Rhode Island was the Sacred Heart HC when they beat us up pretty good 3 or 4 years ago

Richmond barely squeaks by St. Frances tonight. They needed a game winning TD with 1 second left in order to take the lead. The only reason they won by 8 is because they ran the lateral on the kickoff back for a defensive TD.

It's good they won tonight though, because otherwise, we'd have to prepare for an angry team who has 10 days to prepare for us.

Rhode Island loses a close on at Uconn 56-49. Very entertaining game that was close until the final play of the game.

URI is legit this year and they will not be an easy out. I think we can definitely win that one at home, but it won't be easy. No easy games left on our schedule.


Towson takes down Villanova on the road 45-35

I really don't know how the CAA schedule will play out this year. Everyone looks so strong. This has to be the most competitive slate of teams top to bottom in the conference's history. Anybody can beat anybody else (I wouldn't be surprised if JMU lost a game somewhere).

i watched about half of the URI game.  they actually shot themselves in the foot at times- mental errors, flags, leaving receivers open.  they looked good otherwise, and couldve won this game on the road.  what a turnaound.
