The biggest question going into Villanova’s season wasn’t answered until the very end of preseason training camp.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Lehigh
You could argue that Lehigh’s biggest departures came via the transfer portal, but what looms larger is the departure of their head coach, Kevin Cahill, who took over for his mentor Tony Reno at Yale.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Richmond
On paper, the Richmond Spiders have what it takes to make a run at the Patriot League title. Last year they did, too, but injuries and some unfortunate early losses derailed their chance before it really got begun.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Colgate
On paper, it looks like Colgate could be in the middle of a ground-up rebuild. Personally, though, I think the Raiders a lot closer to the elite tier of Patriot League football than many may realize.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Lafayette
There are questions, but coach Troxell has been here before – he’s seen high-profile departures, had questions as to who would take their place… and last season, on the last weekend of the year, his Leopards were playing yet again with the Patriot League season on the line. That’s part of the culture he’s developed at Lafayette.

QB Tyler Hughes was a huge part of the Tribe’s offense in 2025, becoming the first player in school history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for over 600 yards.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Holy Cross
After enjoying so many consecutive seasons as Patriot League champions and co-champions, Holy Cross crashed to a 3-9 record last season, but their record really doesn’t tell the whole story.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Fordham
The Rams finished 1-11 last year, and on top of that, they saw LB James Conway graduate, a huge presence on the defense who broke the national college football record for tackles (595) in his time as a Ram. To say that there was a lot to do in the Bronx this offseason is probably understating things a bit.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Bucknell
Predicted Order of Finish: 9th New head coach Jeff Behrman comes to Lewisburg from D-III John Carroll, where he guided the Blue Streaks to a 29-7 record over his three years as their head coach and a colossal upset last season in the D-III playoffs over Mount Union in double overtime, 10-7. He seems like an intriguing choice.
’26 Patriot League Football Preview: Georgetown
Georgetown enters a new Patriot League era with what will be a completely brand-new offense – with a new offensive coordinator and a huge number of brand-new players – and little runway to have that unit gel before playing two immense League games to open the season.

The Heartbreak Kids were five drives away from a 6-0 season in the Spring.

There were big expectations for the Paladins coming into the spring but they did not live up to them. Furman wound up 3-4 and was never a factor in the conference race.
2021 FCS Season Preview: The Citadel
The Citadel was expecting to make a little jump and be a playoff contender in 2020 after hovering around .500, but the emergence of COVID made for a long fall and spring season, where they played a grand total of 11 games. The Citadel really struggled through their season. But they never quit and played their entire schedule.
2021 FCS Season Preview: Western Carolina

Villanova has, in recent memory, battled two things: the injury bug and the ill-timed loss. They always have the talent to be one of the top teams in the CAA and FCS, but injuries derail them or they lose to a team they shouldn’t. They’ll need to avoid that this fall.
2021 FCS Season Preview: Richmond
Richmond was down for the last few seasons after the graduation of Kyle Lauletta. But if the spring is any indication, with a strong defense and capable quarterback, the Spiders should contend for a playoff berth all season.
