Carson-Newman Football Preview

The high flying screamin' Eagles are well poised to win the South Atlantic Conference again this year. Pre-season polls had them ranked first by everybody. Catawba (what a name for a school) was a distant second. CN should have the usual crushing ground game and adds some high flying receivers this year.

Season opens on CSS TV August 27th against Shaw, whoever that is.

The only dark spot in this season will be whether CN has to play their home games at Carter Municipal Stadium since Burke-Tarr stadium is only about half finished and the end of August is fast approaching. Lawn chairs might be a good accessory for this years games. Hopefully they'll pick up the pace and get that stadium finished (and allow a little time for the concrete work to cure).

Go Eagles, easily the class act of their conference.
