Article on Husson RB John Smith: http://bangordailynews.com/2016/08/22/sports/husson-running-back-on-record-setting-pace-as-team-aims-for-ncaa-tourney/?ref=SportsBox

QuoteHe rushed for 1,408 yards in 10 games in his first season en route to being named the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference's Rookie of the Year and followed that up by gaining 1,733 yards in 10 games last fall to earn the league's Offensive Player of the Year distinction.

He is averaging 6.02 yards per carry, has rushed for 100 or more yards in 16 of his 20 games and is just 451 yards away from breaking Julius Williams' career rushing mark of 3,591 yards.

It's scary to think he's only a junior. He's certainly a foundational player that Husson can continue to build upon as they build their program.

With that said, any predictions for the conference this year? Last year we saw Husson and Norwich battling it out for the championship in a memorable second-to-last weekend matchup in Northfield. With some light research, I'm expecting a similar matchup this year up in Maine as both teams return most of their offensive threats. Norwich loses some experience on defense, but still returns 5 of their top 7 leading tacklers from last season.

Becker  showed huge improvement last year while Castleton maintained the improvement they made the previous season, but I expect a little regression from the Spartans as they graduated their senior QB who was the cornerstone of their passing offense. Will Becker be able to maintain and build upon their success from last year? Are any of the other teams legitimate threats for turn-around seasons?

I think it will come down to Husson and Norwich again.

Becker still has some skill talent, but they are starting over with a new coaching staff.  I agree Castleton may slide back a bit.  SUNY-M should be good enough to beat Anna Maria, Mt. Ida and Gallaudet again (plus cowardly Maine Maritime).  The bottom 3 will remain the bottom 3.

quick Conference Predictions :

1. Husson- Smith Makes this team the Favorite in every game
2. Becker- Stud QB best QB in league and has the skill players around him
3. Norwich- Always a threat, tough defensive minded team- Will they be able to score
4.Castleton  - Next QB up in there system...will take lumps easry but watch out at the end of the year
5/6 Mount Ida- Last year was first season in ECFC play they did not finish above .500. Expect them to get back in middle of the pack
5/6. SUNY- been on downward spiral last couple of years
7. Galludet-hope they can get back to consistently competing
8. Anna Maria- Until proven otherwise still bottom of league

Coaches seem to agree with us, more or less. I'm a biased Norwich fan, so I expect them to win, but I certainly can't complain about anyone picking Husson, especially since the game between the Cadets and Eagles is in Bangor this year. I think Becker receiving a first place vote is a bit ambitious, but I do expect them to top Castleton.

Flip SUNY-Maritime and Castleton and it aligns with my projections. You can read more here:

Scroll to the bottom to see the ECFC projections. I don't know much about the ECFC, so my personal analysis is... lacking to put it lightly.

Norwich preview: http://www.norwichathletics.com/sports/fball/2016-17/releases/20160829j997o1

A lot of experience returning and a lot of new faces and fresh talent to look forward to.

QuoteNORTHFIELD, Vt. - Boasting one of the largest rosters in recent memory, the Norwich University football program will look to blend its seasoned returning corps with many fresh faces in the quest for an eighth-straight postseason appearance in 2016. The defending Eastern Collegiate Football Conference champions, all eyes are on Norwich in the quest for its fourth league title since 2009.

This season also marks the final year of competition for Norwich in the ECFC. Beginning in 2017, the Cadets will join the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) - Norwich will be reuniting with long-time opponents Coast Guard, Springfield, WPI and Merchant Marine. In short, the Cadets and large senior class will look to depart the ECFC on top of the standings.

It was an impressive night for CGA's SR QB Derek Victory, but I can see the AMCATs D isn't really up to the task this season. He'll have a tougher time against the USMMA next weekend in CT.
