It helps, big time! Nothing we weren't expecting, but it is kind of a daunting schedule to look at. They really need to finish the first four games undefeated, and will have a number of tough games the rest of the year. I think SU will be a better team than last year, but right now its hard to tell what to make of their opponents.

I think Albany will be better - Nanticoke seems like hes more engaged this offseason and they return some other good players.  Cornell should be better as well with Teat as a senior, but their defense still has holes to fill. Not sure what to make of Hopkins and Rutgers, both teams SU needed fourth quarter comebacks against and now they'll be going on the road. UNC should be better, and I think ND and Duke take a step back from last year but they are always good. UVA will be a monster.  I would favor them in their first six games, but the rest seem like toss ups to me.

Really wish they would have thrown an "easier" game in as a 13th game near the end of the season, there really are no easy games after February (and they dropped an "easy" game against Colgate last year).  Feels like they could have been more creative to get more home games for later in the season, only 2 after February still makes me shake my head.
