Going to be a very green, new faces offense. Defense will have to carry the day early in the season I'd think while they get into a groove.

If you're shopping for high-profile D1 QBs, the starting job is the easy part. It's how many millions you have to pay him on top of it.

Not so sure. I think a lot of transfer QBs are basically guaranteed a starting job. If you don't 'guarantee' it ... somebody else will. I'm sure IUP didn't just land its big QB transfer by telling him he'd be competing in camp for the job. It's a totally different world in recruiting today than it was just 10 years ago.

I mean, I doubt that Shepherd brought in that QB from VMI to be a backup. For all I know, he could still lose the job, but I would think that the job is his initially.

If Lek Powell is destined to be a career backup, you could do a lot worse. He had a 20:0 TD:interception ratio and a 71-percent completion rate as a HS senior. He's a coach's son, too ... Chance was a Ship assistant for a decade and also head coach at Shippensburg High for 3-4 years.

I mean, he did help VMI win the Southern Conference and started a FCS playoff game. I don't know how well he'll do, but he has some talent.

Correct. That season was the covid season if I am not mistaken? I believe VMI played maybe 7 or 8 games? Many teams were playing with skeleton rosters That program was really not competitive prior to that for a few years. I believe they lost 19 of 20 a couple years prior to that season.

Yea, they did battle against #1 JMU in the first round of the playoffs losing by a touchdown. What was shown in the spring, was not the same team that will be intact for the fall and summer camp. They are still very much portal shopping for all positions.

In the past it would be very common for players to show up all throughout the summer months (and even in August).
