6-7 wins is doable I think, a lot of the MAC games will be one score though so could flip a few.

Fared better than I thought we would to tell the truth. We were moving the ball decently until SC's pass rush started to decimate our offensive line. One more confirmed asswhooping on the schedule and then we'll see how we really do.

Players To Watch

Bill Connelly, ESPN: It's easy to point out the players that were able to be productive against a team like South Carolina as the players to watch against an 0-2 Wofford College that hasn't been able to stop a nosebleed so far this season. Running back Mason King should be able to house one or two with his strong running out of the backfield. Be on the lookout for Donovan Delaney Jr. as well. His ability to catch balls out of the backfield should pay dividends against the Terriers' linebacking core that have been struggling moving horizontally.

Experts Evaluations

Tom Fornelli, Writer: "Last week wasn't the typical throttling we had grown accustomed to when it came to Kent State football. They battled and managed to score on a pretty impressive drive against SC. I think they easily cover against Wofford. I think we see the backups in by the third quarter."

Richard Johnson, Writer: "I can see Kent State running for well over 200 yards between their three workhorse backs. Wofford College hasn't been able to stop anything in between the tackles in two weeks of play."

Chris Hummer, 247Sports Writer: "Someone get a tarp and a shovel."
