That's an eye opener and got me to check out the rest of their schedule. Unfortunately after Weber this week, they have a stretch that resembles the one UND is currently on.

* - I know Georgia State is still technically in the CAA this year, but I'm counting them as FBS and as a non-conference opponent for CAA teams (same as UMass last season).

No reason for us to look ahead to those games until after we take care of Weber (I hope).
