We break down the Monmouth game – and we give our fearless prediction below the flip.

Monmouth’s game notes, happily, were available early in the week, and it reminded me of a couple other notes about Monmouth I forgot to mention.

First, the Jersey Hawks’ home opener against Lehigh is only one of four home games for Monmouth this season, and their game this weekend is sandwiched between two road trips: reoad games against Montana State and Liberty, then away contests against Holy Cross and Columbis.

It might have even come about thanks to the Patriot League.
