Thoughts: The Rams didn’t get much preseason respect when they were picked to finish 12th in the league. Have they overachieved to date or are they better than expected? A Quad 1 road win at Yale impresses. They are very experienced!
It’s never easy in the A10. It sure would be nice to get a win and start off 2-0 in league play.
