WKU is moving in the wrong direction.
FIU might take a step back before it moves forward again as they lose a lot of talent.
Marshall loses the QB and OC like we did and we play there so I guess they are the biggest threat.
MTSU will be 7-5 again it's what they do.
ODU could have a nice turnaround, but do not have the talent right now.
Losing our QB and OC won't hurt us in the least. We'll be better and more varied on offense. No worries at all.
It's funny seeing the FAU fan saying he isn't sure who is a threat.
I did not say one would not emerge I just do not know who.
ODU was a really young team in 2017 and reminded me a bit of 2016 FAU, but who knows.
Marshall will be a tough game, but we are talking about who is going to take the east not who is going to catch us in an off week.
FAU will lose a lot after 2018

I think his comment was more to the idea that no one was expecting FAU to be a threat prior to last season and now you're the one wondering whom will threaten your crown. Could be wrong though!

The UAB roster is deceptive. We'll be deeper this season than last and will have a lot of redshirts from last season competing for playing time immediately. And for as many people that are saying we'll really drop off after 2018, you're forgetting we have some talented RS freshmen and sophomores who'll have 3-4 years in UAB's system when 2019 rolls around.
Reload, not rebuild.
