If you like, make a Fearless Forecast™ (about this game) in this thread.

[Ham]

Our leading rusher will be Kato, and someone other than Kato will throw a TD pass!  (Really glad to see you back talking about football.)

It will be great getting the monkey off our back right out of the gate.

a depth chart would be nice..so many new faces

[Blue & Gold]

No idea what to expect.  With OL so young still not expecting much.  I voted Broncos by 12-or-more (WMU's a tough get from the West) and less than 210 on offense.  Again, just no idea what to expect.  Hope I'm wrong.  Prove me wrong, Zippers!

Zips by 4 or more. It's 2020 - crazier things have happened! Never forget...

 

 

 

[Zipmeister]

Reported attendance will be 15,206.

You didn't mention how current it had to be.

No idea! That's why it's fearless

[Dr Z]

Broncos favored by 17.5 ?

[clarkwgriswold]

I heard the line was 16 with 56 as the under over.  That's an implied total of 20 for the Zips.

[ZippyRulz]

fearless forecast(tm) - the zips won't be worse than they were last year.

 

f/f #2 : you won't get as drunk this year downing a shot each time the zips announcer says "are you kidding me?!"

But are you willing to go out on a limb and state we will be better than last year? Coming off 0-12 you would think that is a prediction that is easy to make, yet breaking a culture of inferiority will be a big task for this coaching staff. Bring on those fearless forecasts.

In addition, given the way things are going: stadium lights will fail and game will be moved to a local high school's field.

You may have hit on something here: playing our games in the dark could be a great equalizer ?

Replacing Lako & Alvin Davin on defense will be next to impossible, but I'm predicting our defense will play better this season with a year running Arth's system under their belts.

 

But I'm still not expecting much on offense due the youth of our OL and our uncertainty at QB - if Kato is the starter we're going to need him to make a significant leap this year.  If the OL performs well I'll be thrilled & the future will look bright.  So if we hang 20 points on WMU tonight I'll be pleasantly surprised and hopeful concerning the future, even if we lose by 16.

 

Looking forward to seeing who our starting QB is and how our new RB's look.

 

Go Zips!

Solely based off of cryptic tweets, i think the starter at QB tonight may be Gibson.

I’ve been hearing DeShields

[Blue & Gold]

On the air.  Is Skoczen also the voice of the RubberDucks?

[Blue & Gold]

Bubbalicious being interviewed.  He's gonna have a All-MAC type of season.

 

Anxious to see who our front seven are.  According to an Arth interview, Reggie Corner has also been playing very well at LB, but I doubt we could play both Bubba (5-9, 205) and Reggie (also 5-9, 205) at the same time.  Throw Zach DiLauro (5-10, 202) out there and we could have the 3 smallest starting LB's in D-1. Lol.

I'm glad good ol' Joe Dunn is still on the radio.  Steve French was often somewhat rude to Joe.  Dismissive.

Agreed....if anything, I look for the quality of the broadcasts to improve.
