The University of Maine football team is ready to turn things around after two disappointing seasons with a 2-9 record and a revolving door of starting quarterbacks. Head coach Jordan Stevens is feeling the pressure to see improvement in his third year at the helm.
Stevens is optimistic about the upcoming season, citing a stronger running game and team identity as reasons for optimism. Last season, the team struggled with a lackluster rushing attack, ranking near the bottom of FCS schools in rushing yards per game. To address this issue, Stevens brought in fifth-year quarterback Carter Peevy and fifth-year running back Jaharie Martin to bolster the offense.
While the starting quarterback and running back positions are still up in the air, Stevens believes the team is in a better position compared to last year. He emphasized roster management and team cohesion as key factors in the team’s potential success this season. Despite the challenges of uncertain starters and players dealing with personal issues, Stevens is confident in the team’s ability to come out on top in terms of physicality and execution.
With a renewed focus on building a balanced offense and a stronger running game, UMaine football fans are hopeful that the team can turn things around in the upcoming season. Stevens and the players are embracing the challenge and are determined to show significant improvement on the field.
