Season kicks off at Bucknell on Saturday. Foxes bring back 14 starters (7 on both sides). Have new OC. Coach P notes in Bucknell video, "need to play a clean game" translation no mistakes. He's right, if the Foxes play mistake free ball this year could be a great season. That said, history says otherwise. While, I'm a homer and hope/think you can win every game, here's my glass half full predictions.
Sept 2 @ Bucknell - They have a strong D-line. O-line has been a weakness for us. If we can't run the ball, it's all on White's arm. While we hang, Bucknell remain a cut above - 0-1.
Sept 9 vs Stetson - Hatters just had some tragedy (loss of player) and have a lot to play for, but the long trip will be too much. Foxes get the victory - 1-1.
Sept 16 @ Georgetown - While the series W/L favors G'town, the Foxes have generally play the Hoyas tough. G'town is well coached, disciplined but somehow I think the Foxes pull out the win in DC - 2-1.
Sept 23 vs Jacksonville - Jax got crushed by Mercer last night. Looked horrible. Foxes defend the den - 3-1.
Sept 30 @ Davidson - Wildcats can't handle Foxes - 4-1.
Oct 7 vs Columbia - Lions have a solid coach but are very beatable. We get our first Ivy League win - 5-1.
Oct 14 @ Valparaiso - Crusaders have improved but not enough - 6-1.
Oct 21 vs Drake - OK, this is where the wheels fall off. We've never beaten Drake and those corn-feed boys hit hard. Foxes lose 6-2.
Nov 4 @ Dayton - Foxes actually play better against Dayton, when we're in Dayton but can't pull out the win 6-3.
Nov 11 vs Morehead State - It took an OT drive to beat MSU last year. But we're at home. Foxes win 7-3.
Nov 18 @ San Diego - Sorry but we can't get past a very strong USD team. 7-4.
