Not surprisIngly @philsteele042 has @ballstatefb as the #1 backfield in @macsports. He has @riley_Neal12 as the 3rd QB.
Surprisingly he ranks the DEFENSIVE backfield #5 in the MAC.
Those rankings consider what he’s told by coaches in the MAC. Interesting and exciting respect.

I truly have always liked Steele. His preseason college mag is the best. You only need to read his and you will be well informed. This time I hope he is correct.

I like him as well the 5th best defensive backfield is shocking... The rankers love Walton but I suspect that is because he had a bunch of tackles and pass break ups. Sometimes I dont think they realize he did this because no one is scared of him and throw at him all the time. I saw a video on sportslink where the. y were really hyping up True freshman DT stevens. Seems like he has been doing really well in the player ran 7v7's. Cosby and Holmes should both be improved and hopefully better physically suited to match up. They played all right last year but were not strong enough and just got pushed around

We need to get through the ND and IU games relatively healthy. Critical to having any chances in the MAC. Depth will be better but not what we need.

Hate to think of a true freshman starting against ND and IU, but I'd certainly welcome the improvement if it's accurate.

I have got to pump the brakes. I get to reading these posts and getting too ready for football. I’m really not expecting an undefeated season by no means, but I have a feeling there will be drastic improvement overall and once the new class gets 2/3’s into the semester will probably settle in nicely to where they may help on the field some spots. Just excited knowing we’re getting close to the season starting. Go Cards!

Good point, but just reading something positive is good. We've got to be better, if for no other reason that starting out healthy. We've also got to physically survive the ND & IU games.

You are already in mid season temper expectation form.. I like it Gotta be ready when it all hits the fan. With our schedule I don’t know how we get more than 4. I’m not even sure how we even get 4, unless the offense is finally what it could be now that Neu will call the plays, and the d improves to a middle of the pack level.

For what it is worth MAC Prospectus picks us to finish dead last in the MAC. These guys are basically fans like us who watch and blog about MAC games.
