Preseason Poll Projection: 8th
Outlook: The Eagles were able to produce yards and points a year ago. Unfortunately for the W-L record, the defense surrendered more of both for a third straight losing record. Montgomery had an excellent season, throwing for over 2,500 yards and 24 TDs, while also rushing for seven more score. Brocato is a dangerous receiver, while three starters are back on the offensive line. The defense will see a number of new faces. Kohler is the veteran of the LB corps, while Reighard and Wood are experienced in the secondary. Juniata may not contend for the Conference championship but may pick up needed experience for future success in 2018.
