Gone are the times when moving up is a death sentence for immediate success. Of course the biggest example of this in college football right now is James Madison which is 4-0 in this its first season of Sun Belt play since moving up last year. The Dukes are showing that they were indeed ready for the ascension, however, they are not the only ones finding their footing in their new home.
Back in the subdivision that JMU left behind, there are other examples of fresh faces proving they belong. Texas A&M-Commerce and Lindenwood are both holding their own as new FCS members but one team in particular is really standing out: the Stonehill Skyhawks.
