Too much of a good thing?

Look for UW to be MUCH better on D this year.

Look for the Eagles to be MUCH better on O this year.

Hard to imagine us being much more productive on offense than we were in 2013. I don't know for sure, but that may have been the best offense im school history. Where we need improvement is on defense, IMHO.

Not saying we NEED improvement on O but I think we will be better because of the improved maturity and strength of VA and a better running game, more mature O-line and lots of depth at wide receiver.
Agreed we need improvement on D because if the O falters at all we are in trouble.

If Kauf had caught that pass in the end zone with hardly any time left...we wouldn't even be talking right now. Game over...

Health is such a critical issue for FCS teams. Last year, Eastern managed to stay fairly healthy. It will be important to have that be the same this season. The only significant injuries last year were at positions like OT and RB where there was a good amount of depth.

One thing I think that will help the O this year is the establishment of a top running back. RB has been by committee and it never seemed to get working consistently. With the 1-2 of Forte and Brown that became the protocol at the end of the season, I feel the flow might be better to start the season. Getting some quality yards by DJ Martin or Jalen Moore would just be a bonus.
