A lot of Eagles on that list

Prediction: If Jordan Huff stays on the field he will be first string or at worst second string all-MAC at RB. With 206 carries so far he's averaging 6.9 ypc although last year he only averaged 6.3 ypc with 111 carries. I think our DBs are underrated also but it's hard to tell since we don't get enough pressure on the QB, so they have to cover WRs all day.

I understand him not being on pre-season lists because there is not much of a track record, but I believe Dee Eskridge will be on a lot of post-season lists.

The Bronco backfield is LOADED this year... however, losing nearly our entire aerial attack this off season may make us too one dimensional to give those horses any chance...

While WMU's aerial attack clearly won't be as strong as last season, there is enough talent at QB and WR for it to be a legitimate threat by the time conference play begins. That will take some pressure off the run game and allow for a balanced attack to keep the D on its heals. Using spread sets helps. However, it will take a few games to gel and develop the necessary timing. Don't look for an upset at USC...

I am encouraged with what I am seeing and hearing about Lester. It they stay healthy, the Broncos will likely be playing meaningful games again in November.

I am REALLY looking forward to what our new OC has to offer.

I like the idea of the Bill Cubit bubble passes to Eskrige and Bellamy, and then Bogan will RIP defenses right up the middle. I MEAN RIP!!!!

Bill Cubit...EEEK! Don't mention that name!! He lost 5-in-a-row to CMU, despite having equal, if not superior, talent. He should have been removed sooner than he was.

How about Darius Phillips making three appearances on that list haha

Agree with the poster that said Eskridge has a shot to make that list as a WR by the end of the season. Also like Anton Curtis' chances.
