Regardless of how this season goes and how well the offense does. This gives Connor Neville and Dustin Fletcher another year to develop. Hopefully Connor can serve as a bridge for Fletcher. And hopefully Fletcher doesn't transfer out before then...

Then again, with the way it is now, Fletcher could start and be a stud...and still transfer

Bowers is having a kid, I kinda doubt he’ll be back in 2021

If the offense is as bad a slog as its been for the last several years then probably not. I expect the defense to be pretty good.

I would expect “The Portal” will be a revolving door for many schools when this season comes to an end.

Speaking of, any news on Mike Love? Someone said he was leaving and then never saw/heard anything.

I haven't seen anything. His Twitter still reads NIU and he retweeted the return of the MAC.

I listened to the Huskies on Tap interview with Offensive Coordinator Eric Eidsness. When asked for three players he expects to improve/emerge he listed Dennis Robinson, Erin Collins and Tyrice Richie.

Imagine what a boost it will be to the offense if Robinson can play up to his potential. And Richie was already pretty good.

Robinson? A guy who's played 2 years and averaged 1 catch and 8 yards a game? I guess if Christian Blake can turn it on his 3rd and 4th years maybe Dennis can.

Considering the size and perceived quality of the class that makes for some great anticipation for 3, 4 and 5 years down the road.

6 games maybe 7, no?

6 Games this year plus 4 next year under the newer redshirt rule.
