D3Football.com Centennial Conference Preview
My annual subscription to D3Football.com's 2008 Season Kick-off became active today. Throughout the season I use the information they provide to preview upcoming opponents.
Today I'll start with their 2008 Centennial Conference Preview:
Centennial Conference
2008 Composite Schedule
2008 preseason conference ranking: 11 of 25
2007 nonconference record: 13-9
2007 playoff record: 1-1
The title could be on the line when: When Muhlenberg visits Bethlehem to play the Greyhounds. The Mules are a clear favorite to win the league title and return to the playoffs. If Moravian can stay healthy, the game could be a crucial late-season matchup -- and a rivalry game, no less.
Pride will be on the line when: When Juniata resumes its series with Susquehanna. The former MAC rivals didn't play last year during the Eagles' first season in the Centennial and the Crusaders' first in the Liberty League. The teams will play in the Battle of the Goalposts; the trophy is a six-foot high piece of the wooden goalposts that were taken from Susquehanna and brought to Juniata following the latter's 12-7 win in 1952.
The player of the year will be: John DeLuca. The running back from Muhlenberg will be crucial in helping the team pound out yards and control the clock.
Look for a breakout from: Michael Maxwell. This Dickinson defensive back will have to step up on a team that lost a standout linebacker to graduation.
Predicted record:
Muhlenberg 10-0, 8-0
Moravian 9-1, 7-1
Gettysburg 7-3, 6-2
Dickinson 6-4, 5-3
Franklin and Marshall 4-6, 3-5
Johns Hopkins 4-6, 3-5
Ursinus 3-7, 3-5
McDaniel 2-8, 1-7
Juniata 0-10, 0-8
Stay tuned there's more stuff to come!
