D3Football.com Season Preview
I received my D3Football.com Season Preview today and as usual they show no love to the Bullets.
Following is the Conference Preview:
Centennial Conference
2007 Composite Schedule
2007 preseason conference ranking: 17th of 25
2006 nonconference record: 17-13
2006 playoff record: 0-1
The title could be on the line when: Ursinus visits Dickinson in the season finale. The Bears opened eyes with an 8-3 season a year ago, but they're no longer a surprise: Ursinus was voted the preseason favorite, garnering seven first-place votes. Dickinson, the defending conference champ, returns linebacker Eric Dube, the conference's defensive player of the year in 2006.
Pride will be on the line when: Moravian visits Muhlenberg. For the first time since 1983, the Lehigh Valley rivals meet as conference opponents. They've played annually since 1958, and the Mules have seven of the past nine meetings. Their first win in that streak, in 1998, concluded a Greyhound streak of 15 wins in 16 years.
The player of the year will be: Eric Dube, linebacker, Dickinson. The 5-foot-10, 200-pound senior is already seventh in school history with 247 tackles; he ranked second in the conference in tackles last year. He was also fifth in sacks (5.5) and led the Centennial tackles for loss (17.5) and forced fumbles (4).
Look for a breakout from: Aaron Harper, running back, Ursinus. As a freshman, Harper ran for 749 yards, which ranked him second in the conference and seventh among NCAA freshmen. The 5-11, 194-pound sophomore has the benefit of a full season under his belt, and half of his offensive line returns as well.
Predicted record:
Ursinus 10-0, 8-0
Dickinson 8-2, 7-1
Moravian 8-2, 6-2
Johns Hopkins 7-3, 5-3
Muhlenberg 5-5, 4-4
Franklin and Marshall 4-6, 3-5
Gettysburg 3-7, 2-6
Juniata 3-7, 1-7
McDaniel 1-9, 0-8
