The University of Maine football team, who is coming off a CAA title in 2018 and is ranked #7 in the preseason FCS national rankings, is getting set to open their season Friday night at 6 pm at home against Sacred Heart.
Each week I will be projecting the outcomes of the Black Bear games. This week it is the Pioneers of Sacred Heart out of the Northeast Conference and this is a first time meeting between the two schools.
Maine returns 15 starters (8 defensive, 7 offensive) and has a decided talent advantage over their opponent. On what is expected to be a muggy warm evening at Alfond Stadium, the Bears will roll in the opener over the Pioneers- Maine 34, SHU 13.
