Going 5-6 playing in Memphis (and that's where Horn Lake is, right outside Memphis) might be a little different from going 5-6 in Eastern Kentucky...you can guarantee they'll have athletes, the kind of speed that can help prepare for future opponents.

It's going to very, very, very hard for Central to do well against this schedule, especially breaking in a new QB and with a new offensive line coach. Coach Burchett's loss probably means more than any of the departing players.

Against this schedule, I'd list Sheldon Clark, Ashland, and Montgomery as likely wins. I'd list Middlesboro and Horn Lake and Wooford County as possible wins. I'd list Boyle and Belfry as less than likely. And I'd put Bell and Breathitt as highly unlikely. This is one of the most ambitious schedules ever put together in Eastern Kentucky, and we'll do very well to go 6-4 with no major injuries before the playoffs.
