In response to A Western Bison
It’s a challenging schedule. I wish the order of the PL games were different, as the likely top two teams are the first two league games.
2019 Schedule
Aug. 31: at Temple
Sept. 7: at Sacred Heart
Sept. 14: Villanova
Sept. 28: Princeton (Family Weekend)
Oct. 5: Holy Cross* (Homecoming)
Oct. 12: at Colgate*
Oct. 19: at Towson
Oct. 26: at Lafayette*
Nov. 9: Lehigh*
Nov. 16: Georgetown*
Nov. 23: at Fordham*

Personally, I would have gone for brutal.

Yes, that would work. Temple obviously is strong, and most know that Villanova and Towson are solid CAA teams. But some might not realize the strength of Princeton. For those who don't follow Ivy football, Princton last year went 10-0, scoring 72 TD's in those ten games. A few scores against recent Bison opponents:
Princeton 66, Lehigh 7
Princeton 51, Monmouth 9
Princeton 42, Penn 14
Princeton 66, Cornell 0
They also beat Brown and Columbia by over 35 points. And put up 59 points vs Yale, although Yale was able to move the ball as well.

Brutal was the word mentioned above. That might be putting it lightly.

Extremely brutal. The bad part is that the easiest opponents (that is a relative term) are at the end of the season. With tough games to start things off, we could be so banged up by the end of the season that those "relatively easier" games could become very tough. 1-10 last year isn't looking so bad now. This is a really nice "Welcome to Bucknell football" for the new coaching staff - they will have their work cut out for them.
