(Pinch hit until the real thing comes along.)
St. Francis (PA) Red Flash
STATS.com:
STARTERS RETURNING: 14 (6 offense/8 defense)
ONE TO WATCH ON OFFENSE: Marcus Bagley, RB, Sr.
ONE TO WATCH ON DEFENSE: Lorenzo Jerome, FS/RS, Sr.
OUTLOOK: Coming of their first winning season since 1992 and their best one on the FCS level, the Red Flash could very well win their first NEC title this year. Their matchup with Duquesne is at DeGol Field. Villarrial likes to play a lot of players, so the depth will pay off. Jerome will keep the secondary at a high level and the defense has a disruptive force in NT Nagaseu. On offense, QB Drayer (152-for-250, 1,977 yards, 15 TDs, 9 INTs) is highly experienced, and the Red Flash return their starting offensive line, anchored by Marks. The loss of All-NEC RB Dickson is tempered by the return of Bagley, a bruiser who was the conference's 2014 offensive rookie of the year. The Red Flash also have dominant special teams, although standout Geesey is coming off hip surgery. Like preseason favorite Duquesne, the Red Flash had a conference-high six selections on the NEC preseason team.
NCAA Statistics, 2015:
Record: 6-4 overall, 4-2 in NEC.
OOC: Beat Georgetown, a 4-7 team in the Patriot, and East Tenn State a 2-9 team in the SoCon. Lost to Towson (7-4, CAA) and Youngstown State (5-6, MVFC) by a combined score of 83-23.
Total offense: 361.7 ypg (#70)
. . Rushing: 158.7 ypg (#59)
. . Passing: 203.3 ypg (#60)
Scoring offense: 28.2 ppg (#50)
Total defense: 309.3 ypg (#17)
. . Rushing: 146.3 ypg allowed (#36)
. . Passing: 163.0 ypg (#8)
Scoring defense: 20.9 ppg (#25)
Penalties against them: 76.9 ypg (#111)
Assessment: Not a powerhouse offense, but fairly well balanced. Strong defense stats, especially against the pass. Of course, that’s largely in the NEC … giving up 48 points to a mediocre YSU team may be more indicative. (YSU averaged 29.4 ppg, so they were nearly 20 points over their average against SF-PA).
If the Griz don't kick their fannies, I'd start to worry. GO GRIZ!

I would be happy not giving up a touchdown to SF on their first drive.
They are from PA, one of the best states in the country for HS football, they will have a good team. That's all yoou need to know.
Well that and the GRIZ are SCARY GOOD.
