EPISODE 29

Alex and Kaleb continue with Part 2 of 4 of the MAC Team Preview series with a distinct MAC East rivalry, and a MAC West team that may or may not spoil some championship dreams if all goes right.

Akron (5:03) fans might not want to hear this: the back half of the schedule is a b s o l u t e l y b r u t a l and there’s just no chance things will look pretty for your team. I’m really, really rooting for QB Kato Nelson because he didn’t simply transfer out when things were starting to look very bleak for that program. He’s coming off of a year without playing (shoulder) and I’m hoping for the best for him in 2021.

CMU (16:00) is an incredibly Michigan-centric team in terms of how its roster is built, so I like the team for that reason. More importantly, these in-state kids are really showing out on the field. CMU might be the most physical team in the conference, and that’s going to matter.

Kent State (31:15) is this year’s favorite to win the East with 11 first-place votes from the media poll. Everybody loves that offense, and with good reason! But that defense has me worried. And this schedule isn’t exactly set up to be a cakewalk for the Flashes either.
