I agree, SD 49--VU 10.  I was surprised so many people picked VU to win last week against Morehead.  Maybe they were all hoping since it was Homecoming.  Last years Morehead score and this years score were similar 37-15 and 38-14.  Last years San Diego score was 30-10, I don't think it will be that close this year.

Morehead 42 Valpo 17

I agree with COVUFan, it makes no sense to me to schedule these games.  I wonder how much the paycheck was?  I would much rather see us compete against teams with similar players and in similar leagues.  It will be even harder to recruit if we keep losing and can't even compete in our own league.  Hopefully, these games will make us more competitive in our own league but I still think we should be playing against similar schools.

What is confusing the argument is that we at Valpo are considered a D1 FCS school.  We are really a DIII school in football since we offer no scholarships.  I would think it is impossible to compete against any D1 FCS school that offers 65 scholarships.  For our non-conference games we should be playing other teams like us (non scholarship schools), we need to start scheduling more Ivy league teams and more Patriot league teams.  Not more members of the MVFC!

 Sounds good!  Let's go VU!

I think this will be another lose, Franklin 35-10.  I expect to see improvement on the field but not enough to pull out a victory.  I'll be surprised if we win more than one game this year.  We are basically starting the same people from last year and hoping that they are stronger and understand the system to improve, the incoming more athletic freshman will need time to adjust to the college game. I think we are a year away!
