In response to jkrun80
Sacred Heart, who won the NEC last year, returned 21 of 22 starters - and has 16 fifth year players who took advantage of the NCAA waiver that Bucknell doesn't allow its athletes to use. So the result was not surprising.
But what is more painful is that two of BU's top few players, the starting QB and their best OL, went down with serious injuries. On top of that, their best DL is out for at least much of the season and they also were missing their top WR. (Not to mention one of the top Bison WR's in decades transferring to Rutgers over the summer.) This will be very much a rebuilding season, with the huge amount of graduated talent plus the injuries.
Villanova beat Lehigh 47-3 Saturday in Bethlehem, so the chance of a Bison win this coming weekend is very low, to say the least. To stay within 30 would be a surprise.
