Late on this but watched some Weber State and Eastern Michigan from last year. Comparable opponents to CSU and UCD, and in recent history CSU/UCD are better programs than the two from last year. The OL by eyes test if substantially better.
We actually tried four different guys at LT last year against Weber. Faasolo was tabbed as the starter by the Apple Cup and now he's a backup. Same with McCree more or less. A healthy Hatchett should be much better than the Portland State transfer built like a fire hydrant.
