A bunch of National TV/Streaming games as well.

 

Towson, William & Mary and Villanova all have very legitimate shots at W's.

 

Delaware, James Madison and Richmond should walk over their opponents.

I'm surprised that the game is not listed on Duquesne's all access streaming site. Will the game not be on there?

Their football schedule lists only radio and gametracker for all their home games unless they haven't updated the all-access yet.

Anyone coming down to my city for the game?

The Dukes don't have a QB with a college start on their roster and will be starting a redshirt freshman on Saturday. I thought they got a BCS transfer at QB but I don't see him listed on the depth chart.

Are those bleachers on the visitor's side of Rooney field that I see on google maps? I can't tell. If I end up going, I don't want to sit with Duquesne fans.

You won't have much choice. It only seats 2000 or so.

[UAalum72]

Looks like there's some seating there, but mostly standing room

From the depth chart on the running backs it looks like we are going to have a smaller backfield than usual. We generally have some bigger, run through a guy or two, backs. I'm wondering if with the switch to turf and the CAA we're going to smaller, quicker backs or if it's just a coincidence.

I think it's the effect of switching to a spread over the last 5 years. Big backs won't come to a spread. And there are very few good big backs that are of the quality that we need. That's why we switched to the spread in the first place. Drew Smith is a rarity.
