Season Previews (Continued)

While promise abounds on the campus of Gettysburg College, the folks at D3Football.com have a different opinion of the 2005 Bullets squad.

First, their predictions for the Centennial Conference:

Predicted record:
1. Franklin & Marshall 10-0, 6-0
T2. Johns Hopkins 7-3, 4-2
T2. McDaniel 7-3, 4-2
T2. Muhlenberg 7-3, 4-2
5. Dickinson 4-6, 2-4
6. Ursinus 2-8, 1-5
7. Gettysburg 0-10, 0-6

Next, their capsule summary for the upcoming season:

"Barry Streeter is a lifer in Gettysburg, but the Bullets he coaches haven’t been competitive for years. With the quarterback loss and a general lack of interest, the Bullets are uninspiring once again. Last season, Streeter's leave of absence because of a family health issue led to the Bullets using a spread offense. Streeter is a Delaware Wing-T devotee. The two concepts are being merged into something called the Spread Wing — whether it takes flight is another story."

They go on to say that:

"Their season will be defined by: The Week 1 game against Lebanon Valley. This was a game Gettysburg should have won last season and if they lose again it will show how much the two programs are headed in opposite directions."

After attending Saturday's 25-7 scrimmage victory over Shenandoah (who D3Football.com predicts for an 8-2 season), I would have to question their "general lack of interest" comment!
