EPISODE 31

In our final MAC Previews episode of the offseason, we finish with three teams that have varying degrees of experience in the MAC Championship game: Northern Illinois, Buffalo, and Western Michigan.

NIU (1:52) has 88 freshmen on its football roster right now. Yes, 88. Sure there are a good number of third-year, redshirt-freshmen lumped in there, but they’re going to be going up against sixth-year seniors and fifth-year juniors. Can we expect things to materialize into W’s?

Buffalo (19:00) had to replace its best head coach of all time during the spring — not even the winter; Kansas hired Lance Leipold in late April. Maurice Linguist seems like a good hire for the Bulls’ program, but it’s just not going to be easy to install a new playbook and be competent about it in just a short handful of months. At least there’s still some starting talent that’s been leftover.

WMU (30:30) has the potential to have the best offense in the MAC this year. WMU also has the potential to have an incredibly talented defense not hold up its end of the bargain. Also, Kaleb Eleby is the man.
