Monmouth Starters Named



I knew this was going to be a busy week...

Now, week two opponent Monmouth has named its starters for its season opener at FCS power Montana State Thursday night.

The Hawks sport a very veteran lineup, with 11 senior starters, seven of them 5th years.

But there are are three sophomore starters, all on defense.

The average weight of the Monmouth starting O-line is 303 lbs. and the starting TE is 255 lbs.

Monmouth uses the 4-3 defense and their D-line is relatively lighter with an average weight of 255 lbs.

The Hawks went 5-5 last year, playing Cornell tough on the road in a 41-38 loss and playing better than Columbia did at Lehigh last season in a 27-17 loss. Monmouth highlights last year were wins over Sacred Heart and Rhode Island.
