Pete's 2009 Colonial Athletic Pre-Season Schedule Previews

Northeastern: Once again, the Huskies have the most difficult schedule in the CAA. They have OOC games against Boston College, Youngstown State, and Holy-Cross. In addition, three of their four most difficult conference game are on-the-road in 2009.
Towson: For the first time in 16 years, there will be a new man in "at the helm" of the Tigers. Rob Ambrose looks to be a quality hire. The OC for UConn has experience in both FBS and FCS.
