(STATS) -- Morehead State posted its first winning season in eight years in 2015, but that campaign began with a blowout loss at James Madison. The Eagles return to the scene of that defeat Saturday night when they take on the 12th-ranked Dukes, one of two matchups for Pioneer Football League teams against STATS FCS Top 25 squads in Week 1.The Eagles went 7-4 last season, their most wins since matching that record in 2007, and finished third in the 11-team PFL. Theyre picked to finish fourth in 2016 despite being led by senior quarterback Austin Gahafer, the reigning PFL Offensive Player of the Year and active FCS leader with 8,514 passing yards.Gahafer, on the STATS FCS National Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Watch List, set career highs with 291 completions, 3,244 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. His worst game -- and Morehead States -- came at James Madison in the opener.Gahafer had season lows of 18 completions and 173 yards in a 56-7 loss Sept. 5, one of two games in 2015 in which he didnt throw a touchdown pass. The Eagles were held to season lows in points and total yards (252), while James Madison established a then-school record with 713 yards.Still, first-year Dukes coach Mike Houston knows his team is in for a challenge.Weve got to do a good job of putting pressure on (Gahafer), making him uncomfortable in the pocket, Houston said. Weve got to do a good job of making him move around in the pocket. And weve got to do a great job in the secondary of being disciplined in our coverages and not give up the big play.Fourth-year Morehead State coach Rob Tenyer is hoping his team puts on a better performance in this years opening game with the Dukes, who finished in a three-way tie for first place in CAA Football last season before being eliminated in the second round of the FCS playoffs.I told our team that we want to eat Thanksgiving dinner here in Morehead because that will mean we are getting ready for the FCS playoffs, Tenyer said. ... We have the makings to be a very successful team this year because of our depth. We do need to clean up some areas, and I feel like both sides of the ball need to play with a little more urgency and well be OK.Valparaiso, which visits the defending back-to-back Missouri Valley Football Conference champion in No. 10 Illinois State on Saturday night, isnt in the FCS playoff conversation.The Crusaders lost their last six games in 2015 to finish 1-9, are 9-68 overall since 2009 and have dropped 51 of their last 57 PFL contests. The Redbirds, meanwhile, reached the FCS championship game in 2014 and lost in the quarterfinals of the playoffs last season.Our players relish that opportunity to play against a Division I scholarship program, Valparaiso coach Dave Cecchini said Tuesday. The better the team, the bigger the challenge, the more excited they are to prove that they belong on that field. So theyve got a little bit of a chip on their shoulders.Valparaiso and Illinois State are playing for the first time since 1948. The Crusaders won the first two matchups in 1933 and 34 before the Redbirds took the last meeting.James Madison has won three in a row against Morehead State to improve to 6-2 in the all-time series, including a 5-0 mark at home.Were in year four, Tenyer said. Our goal ultimately is to take the next step and I think we made some tremendous progress in our first three years.A win over a James Madison program thats won 16 of its last 18 regular-season games would certainly be a step in the right direction.

Even if North Melbourne lose Saturday nights elimination final, Jed Anderson hopes it doesnt end Brent Harveys long-standing connection with the AFL club.Anderson isnt in denial about Harvey being shown the door at Arden Street or the prospect of the 38-year-old playing on at another club in 2017.But the speedster is upbeat his mentor will consider a seamless transition into coaching next year.Hes been at the club for a really long time and itd be hard to see him go. Id love for him to hang around and help develop us younger boys, Anderson told AAP.We could learn more from him and all the things hes done over the last 20 years.But hell decide what he wants to do. Everyones really grateful for everything he has done.Anderson is nearing the end of his first season at North, having joined the club in last years trade period.The 22-year-old is one of many Kangaroos indebted to Harvey, who boasts a record 431 games of experience at the highest level.Anderson has been picking Harveys brain throughout the year, desperate to improve his own approach.Ive been trying to do all the things he does, watching his vision with him and going over it all. Working out what is going on in his head when he does the things he does on the field, he said.You look at how he finds the footy and what hhe does with it - its always exciting isnt it?But the other side is how he goes about it.ddddddddddddAll the little things he does to prepare himself.Hes helping me grow my game and Im trying to adapt and build my game around his position. He does it really well and hopefully in the next few years I can start to grow like hes grown over the course of 20 years.Coach Brad Scott declared no player will be able to fill the void left by Harvey a fortnight ago, when the announced the AFL icon wouldnt be offered a new contract despite his impressive form in 2016.It is a statement Anderson agrees with, having been floated as the closest thing North have to a like-for-like replacement by some judges.Theyre big shoes to fill arent they? Theres a few good small forwards that we have here. Well all need to grow, he said.Andersons more pressing concern is a knock-out clash with Adelaide this weekend.He knows there will be a lot of added emotion as Harvey, Drew Petrie, Nick Dal Santo and Michael Firrito prepare for their final game at North, which will come at some point in the next four weeks.The boys really want to send them out on a high note, Anderson said.
