Good preview Andy. Hope you're wrong about my Blazers though! I expect it to be a great one as it always is.

Good pics. Even though FIT looks good at times, Delta State is such a solid program, its hard to not pick them. Shorter and MC, that too is a tough pic, but you are probably right. Shorter should have defeated KSU, but playing at home MS should win. I hope your other pics are correct, especially the West Alabama vs West GA..... Will Hall is by far the better coach and WG has so much depth, WG should prevail.

I tried to post this on Friday but realized that I had to many characters and posted now, even if late. Shorter and FIT pulled the upsets.

UWG played the second string in the 3 quarter and its 3rd string in the 4th. so the score of 32-14 is a little misleading (32-0 at half). Once game was in hand starters were pulled.

I would hope with this showing D2Football polling will move UWG up. Ferris State at No.2 struggled against a weak team while UWG took on a 4-0 team and won with no trouble.
