I know I will pizz off a bunch of you guys for saying this but, let's keep it real...we aren't going to beat Kent State. There I said it. If we have a perfect game and if the Offensive Line blocks well and our new QB's (who ever that is) has an outstanding game and blah, blah, blah... Here's the reality, can Kent State be beaten, absolutely! Their record shows that they can be beaten but can they be beaten by an "average" FCS team with limited resources, probably not. Just in case you guys forgot...had not SC State made that bonehead play or Alcorn State run out of time, our record would have been very different last year. And until we consistently thump NCCU, I don't think we are ready for FBS prime time yet.
Now am I hoping and praying that we shock the world, damn Skippy. But I'm not getting my hopes too high. I'm saving my big prayers for our conference games and those dreaded durham dirty birds!

Last season was last season. This season's team dynamic will be different, particularly at QB and along the OL with a key switch (Blake for Best) and a new OL coach. We also have a different dynamic at MLB where we swap out experience (Denzel Jones) for athleticism. Having Cartwright as the #2 RB also changes the dynamic. The reasons for optimism for taking a next step are all there.

I think we discredit Central a little too much. They had an NFL safety playing DB last year. And word out of Durham is he isn't their best one. He was injured before they played us. But, if we are a average program by some estimations, it will be that much sweeter if we can pull the upset.
