Special teams is a disaster, but otherwise it's hard to believe we're watching the same team as last week.

Final 50-21  so we win big but so many mistakes need to be corrected .  Anyway on to Fordham which should be in the W colume next week.

Yep. On one hand we win big, so at first glance things look good, but we made so many mistakes that against a stronger team would lead to a totally different result. There's no easy games in conference this year (URI beat the pants off the puppy dogs today) so we're going to need to play our best ball. Carbone was 10/25 which isn't very good. Though I'll admit the weather played a factor. Looking at the team statistics, Bryant held the ball for twice as long as we did, got more first downs, and roughly the same yardage that we did. The turnovers was really what did them in.

This reminds me of our game against JMU last year in that the actual game was closer than the score indicated and that turnovers were the deciding factor. Have to play better once we hit conference play else we finish 5-6 again (or worse).

By the way... Around the league... the Danes lose to Rhody! Rhody 2-0 on top of the league with back to back wins over DEL and ALBANY.

WHAT???

Rhody as our Homecoming game is not looking so easy anymore

Imagine if you had Bryant as a -23.5 underdog!  Last play of the game with Bryant down by only 23, so this bet is a sure thing! Bryant has the ball at the Stony Brook 5 yard line and  the QB of Bryant throws a pick 6!  BRUTAL!!!

 I expect  we beat Fordham  that got manhandled yesterday  by Richmond but  our CAA schedule will be tough  after that.  Looks like our defense is solid again  but the offense and the special teams  needs big time improvement .  Some of those returns  by Bryant came back to the 40 and 45 yard line.   I see a long season ahead. Good news the IPF construction site is taking shape on the north end of the field.

I think with Lucansky being out for the next couple of weeks the KO's are not as high with #4 so that is something to consider but I also saw three of four missed assignments on KO's. It never good when your KO guy has 3 tackles- but am sure they'll figure it out. Still wayyyyyy too many friggin penalties though and seems to be a weekly thing. Glad we won as ugly in some spots, but still a win! The punt block changed the momentum of the team and the crowd!
