I am not necessarily opposed to this position. I think though that BR was dominant defensively and the cause of that domination remains. McGee is the 2nd best edge in the state and Parks makes it so he cant be doubled.I don’t know about Rice that high when they’re only returning 7 starters total and they have a QB that had very little experience last year.
That said, I would not be surprised if LWE wins in week 1, but Rice is the favorite.
