Ye Olde Roundtable: Non-Conference Takeaways

The MAC’s non-conference season is nearly over. What team has surprised you most and which breakout player has impressed you so far?

James Jimenez (@AVKingJames): Western Michigan has been a really surprising team for me this season. All we heard in the offseason was the chaos surrounding the transfers of wide receivers (which is still happening!) and the attempt to make D’Wayne Eskridge a two-way player. Yet, they’re one of the top teams in the MAC at 3-2, and have looked good in every win thus far, proving themselves a disciplined team who has gelled as the season has gone on.
