I'm sure Elon will be favored when we play...it's at their place and they will be one of the top teams in the CAA this season. They would probably be among the top three in the SoCon. Elon has consistently been a solid FCS program for many years.

I'm really looking forward to playing Campbell and Elon this year. This non conference slate is really going to tell us a lot about this team and whether or not we belong in the top 25 rankings. I do believe this defense is going to be much improved and the offense won't skip a beat.

Hoping for a big crowd on the road at Elon. I know I'll be there.

Historically it has either hurt us or didn't really matter (many years we weren't sniffing any kind of rankings), but I have said it numerous times - it is a whole lot easier to stay ranked than it is to break into the rankings. I don't know if we will end up in many of the more official preseason or early rankings come August and September, but I sure hope we start out there for that reason.
