I agree it will be a challenge especially with DVC and Albright ahead, and I'm hearing Wilmer will be back this week for DVC. I've seen all but one game this year for LVC and this is IMO the best defense it has had in a while, maybe even ever, but the Offense is shaky, i feel they have a top notch receiving core, its just they don't have a QB that can get them the ball as they have had in the past. Also congrats on the victory this past weekend over Albright, I'm sure the live stats i was following while at the LVC game do not do that thrilling game justice. I look forward to following the MAC the rest of this season.

How about the Dutchmen this year, a close, until the end, victory @ Misericordia this week, but whats everyones opinion on their chances of winning their final 3 games (@ DVC, vs Stevenson, @ Albright)?

I'm pretty sure Stevenson didn't graduate many players from last years team, and their outlook is very positive. The team is extremely athletic and last season they were a better team then their record showed. Going into their 3rd year this season I think they have the potential to surprise some people. Not sure about kings, I know they lost a few key members of their linebacking core but not really sure about the rest, and Lyco also not sure but you can always bet they will have one of the best defenses in the MAC.

I agree Stevenson was indeed a better team than the record showed. Honestly, I can see them being very good, if not this year, definitely next year. Since I am currently in the DMV area, Stevenson appears to be doing a great job overall within building their athletic program and that's starting with its facilities. With that they are taking some recruits from both Maryland (Frostburg, Salisbury, McDaniel, etc...) and PA teams.

I agree 100% with you, I definitely can see them contending for a MAC title within the next 2-4 years. Also in my opinion, from personal experience, I feel they have the best football facilities in the MAC, which will also make it easier to steal some recruits like you said not only from MD schools but also PA. They will definitely be a fun team to watch in the coming years.

This will be year 2 for the MAC NJAC challenge. Last years 8 game series ended in a 4-4 draw. All games took/take place on the opening weekend. The same matchups for this year..but the venues are reversed.  Note * the NJAC;s top team from last season.Cortland..does not/did not participate. Also.. W CONN is not a member of the NJAC this season.
Looking back..the best matchups (based on final records) last season were 1. Del Val vs Rowan and 2. Lyco v. Brockport St. Both games were won by the NJAC team. Biggest mismatch was/ is Widener v W Conn.

That DVC vs Rowan game is something to look forward too, also the LVC vs Montclair St. game will be the first night game at LVC underneath their new lights.

Welcome to the boards Dutchman, its good to see another fan from the MAC.

Thanks D3MAFAN, and on another note it is very interesting to see the progress on DVC's new turf making them the final MAC football school to get a turf playing surface. Can't wait to see it in person as i will be traveling to Doylestown this year for the LVC vs DVC game. Should be a great season!
