i haven't seen them in person nor do i really follow FCS teams that closely, but they went 7-5 last year. 6 games against 1-a teams, 6 against 1-aa teams. they beat all the 1-aa pretty much with no problems, with the exception of Chattanooga, which they won 28-21.

they lost to Florida 49-3, Bowling green 41-21, and ball state 35-12.
they played their soon-to-be-conference teams pretty good.
they beat Middle Tennessee State 20-17, and lost to Troy 21-17 and lost to North Texas 27-26.

for 2008 they have a more "normal" schedule, only having 2 1-aa teams to play.
