HERO Sports FCS Ranks UC Davis at 22 in Preseason Poll Surely Cal Poly will better this upcoming season as long as some key guys can stay healthy. I wasn't surprised that Protheroe ended up getting injured after he had like 40 carries in the season opener against Colgate. This is just my personal opinion, but I am always a little bit wary of FBS transfers. Look at when Jimmy Laughrea transferred to Davis from Boise State and he was going to be the QB savior that we needed. He ended up not doing much and rode the bench for most of his time here. All-in-all though, I fully expect Cal Poly to rebound to some degree after last season. September is still looking like it could be a rough month though.
