www.google.com/amp/s/herosports.com/fcs-football-2022-conference-champion-predictions-bzbz/amp/Big South North Carolina A&T The Big South will have six football members in 2022 – Robert Morris, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Gardner-Webb, newcomer Bryant, and North Carolina A&T before the Aggies head to the CAA in 2023. NC A&T’s first year in the Big South did not go as planned after being a MEAC power, finishing 5-6 overall and 3-4 in the conference. With Kennesaw State off to the ASUN and Monmouth heading to the CAA, the door is open for the Aggies to be at the top. Their offense struggled in 2021 and will need to replace productive running back Jah-Maine Martin. NC A&T always plays tough defense, though, and the Aggies can lean on that unit and its standout linebackers Jacob Roberts and Joseph Stuckey to win the Big South and reach the playoffs.

MVFC
North Dakota State
NDSU returns 4/5 of its starting offensive linemen and its next five guys as part of its rotation, the entire RB stable led by All-American Hunter Luepke, its NFL Draft prospect TE Noah Gindorff, starting QB Cam Miller and running QB Quincy Patterson, two LBs with starting experience, and its entire starting secondary led by All-American safety Michael Tutsie.
That’s quite alarming for the FCS after the Bison walloped Montana State 38-10 in the national title game.
This may not be one of NDSU’s better teams during its run of endless national titles. The Bison don’t have All-American QB play, have to replace their entire starting defensive line, and don’t have a proven and reliable WR target.
——————————————————
They are going to run the ball for 4 Qtrs

Very logical. We finished 3rd last year. Teams ahead of us are gone

I find this thread & the Big South's prediction very interesting...

9-2 and an HBCU National Title is entirely possible. It's cemented if we can win a first-round playoff game on Thanksgiving Weekend.

Let’s try to get past that “school” up 85 and go from there. We have a lot of improving and gelling to do before the season.

Do we have questions at QB? Yes. Will kids get caught in the Bermuda Triangle between May and August? It always happens. However, this schedule screams 9-2, 8-3 at worse if we lose a game against GWebb or Norfolk State.

Let’s try to get past that “school” up 85 and go from there. We have a lot of improving and gelling to do before the season. Nope. NCCU got holes and they're implementing a brand new defense. I'm being completely real here. Central and Norfolk State are trash. So are Robert Morris and Charleston Southern. On the other hand, Duke and NDSU are definite losses and will most likely be blowouts by halftime. But, they don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Our true tests will be Campbell for GHOE and SC State at home. Those will be tight ballgames that can go either way. but Campbell isn't Monmouth or Kennesaw State (even with their recruit class, this year) and one thing Coach Washington knows how to do is beat Coach Pugh. Bryant is decent but they're in transition. Edward Waters is a glorified scrimmage that will have our 3rd and 4th QBs in at the 3rd quarter. Bryant could also be a toss-up due to them being brand new to us. We were also up on Gardner Webb at halftime. One has to expect this staff will know how to get the team to actually finish a game with ease instead of giving up leads with stupid penalties and game mismanagement. This should be a win but it could also be another game that we lose that shouldn't have happened. Anything worse than 8-3 and a Big South title should be side-eyed.

Oh my: Duke and NDSU are definite losses and will most likely be blowouts by halftime. Definitely not on either of those bandwagons. And we had better NOT lose to ANY of the HBCUs. FINALLY, if we lose to ANY of the BSC teams, I'm gonna be ticked off to the highest level of ticktivity. I expect 9-2 with chance for 10-1 or 11-0. #PutTheBallDown

I don't know if it's a win if they're tight ball games at halftime either. Agree 100% that we need to find some interior DT size ASAP...preferably a coupe 290+ ones with experience as opposed to being freshmen (preferably from an FBS program)

If the program is where it needs to be, games 2 and 3 are NOT blowouts at halftime.

It's amazing that some of us continue to tag a lose or a blowout on our team, before they even hit the field 😆 . Memory has , that Jacksonville , Kent , Charlotte , East Carolina were supposed to be blowouts losses but we won, and Morgan,FAMU wins but we lost . Kennesaw, GW , Monmouth were supposed to be winnable games or close losses which they were. Duke , Kennesaw and Monmouth were not blowouts but winnable. The only blowout was Hampton. So what makes you think that NDSU will be a blowout, out side of there reputation and national championship status ? Nothing is given or lost until the whistle is blown and the ball is kicked off . In my opinion A&T has the talent if not more . My expectations fall short and I hope I'm wrong . Is with the ability of Washington and Coaching Staff to properly put this Talent to task and in a position to win. My change to this team and some of you fans will be " One game at a time , never over estimate or under estimate your chances of winning" .
