With a 3-9 last season, the Golden Flashes were the bottom feeders in the East going just 1-5 in conference play.
This team could be much better this season if they can keep their quarterbacks (Eugene Jarvis and Julian Edelman) on the field and they can cut down on their takeaways from last season.
Coach Martin's squad does not have an easy slate to start the year, as the team must face Boston College and Iowa State.
In conference, Kent State avoids a meeting with Central Michigan, but the team must do battle with Ball State and Bowling Green on the road.
If all goes right, and the Golden Flashes can dodge major injuries, this could be the season that they make a statement.
