"PSAC fans won’t like this, but I think Shepherd will win at home." Although I agree with most of your analysis, I'm surprised there was no mention of the new defensive backfield for Shepherd. I expect this to be a great matchup, but the inexperienced DBs, especially with a QB/WR connection like Zulli/Harman will be the difference. (IMHO)

...but, I'm proudly biased.

(thanks again for another great review!)

Chuck: I enjoy your posts and blog entries; you're always thorough and most important, objective. Rest assured that Steven Laurino is "100% and fully-focused." He looks as good as I've ever seen him, both on the ground and through the air. He is also as motivated as I've ever seen him. He is a leader in every sense of the word, and he is a young man whose dictionary does not include the word "quit."

Lincoln's SID left the program in late July and moved to the MEAC conference headquarters. The new SID will be on board soon. Once our transfer RB from Rutgers is cleared, it will address our woeful running game.
