That Gameplan video reinforces the point that it is rather silly to offer a "national" analysis of FCS football programs. Too little reliable information and multiple transfers that can transform a team, for better or worse, between spring and fall. Some of that material is good but the prognostications are marred by these two glaring errors (and I'm sure there are many others.) First, that YSU will simply hand Hosick the starting job. Second, and worse, that Indiana State will have a decent year behind the talents of their quarterback, Matt Adams. These guys missed the fact that Adams flunked out of school after spring.
We can all make equally reliable forecasts without cost and with little effort. Here are two projections that most of us will probably agree with. First, NDSU will be very, very good once again. Second, Northern Iowa will be very formidable, until December when they will once again make an ignominious departure from the playoffs.
