They are a DIII team, going 7-18 last year, 9-17 the year before that...9-17 and 3-22 before that. There are other single-digit win seasons in there and their last .500 season was 17-18.
This is their opener. They lost last year by 42 to Miami U. They are picked to finish 6th in their division of the Preisdent's Athletic Conference.

Their coach is Brandon Thorsen, who is in his first year.

After such a dominant game against Texas St, I almost hate that this game is happening. Would rather keep the energy up against a D-1 opponent when we don't need a "get right" game, but I know it's impossible to predict how the season was going to start.
Right? Sunday is a very low D1 game. Looking forward to the Davidson game.
