Stony Brook prediction
Ok..here we go.
At first glance this looks like a slam dunk for MU. But let's look closer. SB's schedule was a killer. What would MU's record be if the Hawks had played Hofstra, Georgetown, and No. 1 UNH and No. 9 UMass?. It wouldn't be 4-0. But it probably wouldn't be 0-4 either (maybe 1-3, perhaps 2-2?).
However ,I don't think MU would have been routed as bady as SB was vs. UNH and UMass. SB wasn't competitive in either game. It was OK vs. Hofstra (17-8) but was shut out by Georgetown (7-0).
SB, with a new coaching staff, is young in many areas on defense. Some of their leading tacklers are sophomores and freshmen.
Monmouth has 18 seniors on its two-deep depth chart. SB is building for the future. Monmouth is built to win this year.
When MU lost at home to SB two years ago it committed SEVEN turnovers. If that happens this time it'll lose again. It won't and Monmouth won't lose this one, at least I don't think so.
MU, 20-7.

Actually..make that 17 starting seniors on the depth chart...
36-17 Stony Brook
Yes..I know. I was there. This will not be my week to go to the race track. Usually when I pick teams they lose. Last week the moon must have been out of orbit or something.
