Phil Steele Preseason Top 40

Big on Ryan Kirchner..not much of a fan of Andrew Smith?

 

His injuries last year really hurt his stats and therefore his national exposure.

 

If he can stay healthy, I think he'll break out. I'm hopeful he'll get a more defined role this year as well. Smith, Leathley and Romain on the field every play possible.

All i know is, if Albany is gonna get back to #1 in the conference, they can't be blanked with no o linemen on the all conference teams. The big hogs gotta step up and deliver.

The O-line only has two starters and seven lettermen returning. Remember we didn't have enough to field two full squads for spring practice. We may be depending a lot on freshmen for depth up front.

Picks UA to take the NEC.

Steele gets a crap load of info on one page. If you can get through the shorthand he needs to fit it all, its a great resource. I'm definitely buying his magazine when it comes out. He'll have that page for all 120 FCS teams.

 

I think I agree with his analysis. We'll be tough on D and have some great specialists on the offensive side of the ball. The question is do we have anyone that can block for them this year?

 

O-line is the key this year.

Let's hope the men's side of athletics gets a few championships this year.

If it weren't for the men's track team, the women would have blanked the men BIG TIME in the championships tally.
