Chris Heidel - The New Hampshire Wildcats currently hold the current FCS playoff streak at 13, one of the most impressive streaks in the country. Seems like the postseason was made for the Wildcats even though last year their season ended with a 55-22 loss to James Madison. Head Coach Sean McDonnelll, who been a fixture in Durham, NH for last 19 years, is hoping to make another run to playoffs this season. The Wildcats offense has 6 returning starters this season. Quarterback Trevor Knight will look to improve on his 56% completion percentage as well as his 14 touchdown passes. Knight will rely heavily upon his offensive line anchored by senior center Jake Kennedy. Coach McDonnell stated that Kennedy was "The best offensive lineman the Wildcats have. It was tough on him because he had to wait his turn because he played behind two players that were All Conference the last three years, but this year he will have his opportunity." Kennedy will anchor an offensive line that yielded 31 sacks last season. Undoubtedly the pressure also had an effect on quarterback Trevor Knight also throwing 10 interceptions. Defensively the Wildcats must improve on their run defense. They gave up almost 140 yards per game on the ground. In the secondary senior safety D'Andre Drummond-Mayrie is a playmaker, "D'Andre is young man who plays safety for us and has played since being a true freshman. He has become one of best athletes on our team," added Coach McDonnell. "We are looking for a big season from him." Both players have been voted captains for their leadership and play and must help elevate the play of the other teammates around them for UNH to win a championship this season.
