Season Outlook:
The Aggies return pretty much their whole defense but lost QB Leon Jackson and WR Kevin Robinson on offense. They will have an improved offensive line led by Rimington Trophy Watch List member Ryan Tonnemacher at center and the other star for the Aggies is sophomore RB Derrvin Speight. The schedule doesn’t look like an easy one for the Aggies as Idaho, and New Mexico State could be their only wins.
#118 Idaho

Season Outlook:
The Vandals return their whole offense and most of their defense. They actually could surprise some people with the experienced talent that they have coming back. Unfortunately the WAC schedule will be tough for the Vandals but they will be competitive against New Mexico State, Utah State, and Idaho State. Senior center Adam Korby is on the Rimington Trophy Watch List as one of 42 players.

Season Outlook:
The Black Knights have a shot to significantly improve this year under 2nd year Head Coach Stan Brock. Carson Williams has all the makings to be a good one at QB for the Black Knights but they need help at the offensive line and the defensive line. Games against Temple, New Hampshire, and Buffalo look to be their most competitive games.
