I think CU has a chance at .500 this season.<br /><br />St. Francis - my football instinct tells me there is no real chance in this one. The Red Flash are a scholarship program with too many horses. I hope Lions can keep it close.<br /><br />Georgetown - a definite chance to win. G-town has improved but they are not out of Columbia's weight class.<br /><br />Princeton - the Tigers are strong but CU seems to be a reliable spoiler against them so there's a chance here<br /><br />Wagner - this program is on unsteady footing. A must win for the Lions<br /><br />Penn - a very tough game. If they can take this one it will be a signature win. Unlikely to happen though.<br /><br />Dartmouth - another very tough foe but they are not a colossus. <br /><br />Yale - the Bulldogs are on a downward slide and looking at ejecting their head coach following the year end blowout to Harvard. The edge goes to Columbia.<br /><br />Harvard - just too much depth and consistency here to overcome but you never know.<br /><br />Cornell - a must win game for CU. Cornell is not without some talent but the Lions have to take this one. <br /><br />Brown - fallible and beatable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-44082951755216144212016-09-09T20:49:29.217-07:002016-09-09T20:49:29.217-07:00Big keys will be:

They need a signature season, not just a good game and then a bunch of letdowns.<br /><br />2. top caliber QB play. Improved OL will help but consistency is needed, long drives, mistake free and finishing with points. Can't afford to blow chances.<br /><br />3. finding a running game. Watson is very fast and looked good in limited action last season but he is not a banger. Schroer is a banger but lacks speed. They need an answer here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-22444250082908323722016-09-09T10:35:28.686-07:002016-09-09T10:35:28.686-07:00I'm sure Pete means "Skyler" and not...I'm sure Pete means "Skyler" and not "Tyler" above.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406325184873110808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-69306924688435711552016-09-09T09:15:39.998-07:002016-09-09T09:15:39.998-07:00Excellent analysis overall. I would add a few comm...Excellent analysis overall. I would add a few comments of my own:<br /><br />1-I believe Tyler will finally get a chance to shine. In fact, If he can stay on the field, I see him as being All -Ivy. He showed that he is a punishing runner, with decent speed and good moves. He will be benefit immensely from our very good OL. He wills also make our RBs more dangerous as our opponents concentrate on shutting him down. Our short passing game will also benefit either with set plays or Tyler throwing on the run. He has the chance to be our own Ivy version of Tim Tebow this year or at least a Billy Ragone clone. <br /><br />2-I think we'll find out about our D line early on. I think we'll see a lot more situational blitzing by our LBs and DBs to offset this potential weakness. I think we'll see our LBs also playing close to the line of scrimmage too-- much the way Penn operated under Bags. <br /><br />3-Special teams play will be a big strength for us too. We are talented in the skill positions. Of equal importance, we have more and better athletes doing the blocking and tackling on these teams.Peter Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279626020964320581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-16450572104460993262016-09-08T19:18:15.875-07:002016-09-08T19:18:15.875-07:00I am inspired
