Here's our
2005 schedule. It's significantly easier than last year's, at least on paper.
I'll take a shot at predicting how we'll do.
WINS: Louisiana-Lafayette, Brockton, Lowell, Fitchburg, Lawrence, Worcester.
LOSSES: New Bedford, Rutgers.
TOSS-UPS: Ohio, Eastern Michigan, Springfield.
We actually have a shot at going into our final game of the season with a 10-0 record, if the breaks go our way. The season opener at Ohio and the rivalry game at Springfield will be tricky, though.
I'll give us two out of three in the toss-ups, and predict an
8-3 record.
Recruiting Priorities
1. Offensive linemen. We'll lose five OL to graduation, so we need to seriously re-stock this cabinet.
2. Wide receivers. Only one will graduate off this year's team, but that leaves us with only four on the roster, and one is a converted quarterback.
3. Defensive linemen. Both ends are seniors, and we're very soft at tackle.
