I didn't include national or conference ranks for Sacramento State because it isn't really relevant with them being in FCS.
The chart certainly shows where each team was strong and where each struggled in their opening games doesn't it?
Let's hope the Buffaloes young secondary is ready because the Hornets and quarterback Garrett Safron is going to throw the ball around a lot. It's basically now official that we will have true freshmen manning both of the corner spots and another at the nickel. This is the type of game for them to make an early statement.
101st in the country in rushing after playing Colorado State? Yeesh, that number better have skyrocketed when I do this post next week or I'd say we'd be staring at 0-2...
Sacks allowed in another number that better not grow this weekend against the Hornets.
I would LOVE to see Darragh keep up that net punting mark, could mean the difference between 1-2 losses becoming wins.
