In both cases, we had Mathis to start and he left due to injury. There's a big dropoff in our offense from starter to backup QB.

From all accounts Anderson was pretty good coming in, but that hasn't shown up on the field yet. Maybe he doesn't plug into the offense as well.

I think this game showed how so called go go offense can go wrong. Our offense wasn't efficient and this led to our D getting tired in the 2nd half.

Hard to be efficient and hard to win any game when you turn the ball over 4 times and get no reciprocal takeaways.

Is anyone able to access this via UALBANYSPORTS.COM? I can't seem to get it to load.

You’re not the only one! Perhaps there Is something we don’t know.

Its easy to watch the P5 games think the stadium is small, but man, for an FCS program Zable is stellar.

Was at the game.

I really like their "Berm" layout, with the elevated grassy knoll on the endzone. I know it would be copying UVA, but if we could dig down from our arched North endzone and sink the field to create this effect at Zable, our stadium feel would be significantly elevated (pun intended). Otherwise agree...they did their grandstand on the cheap...

Highlights look like 2 players of each team tangled up somehow on that last play...question if there was illegal contact

That would have to be the call. They almost never call PI on foot tangle plays.

That's great news.

Would rather hold him out this week. It gets a lot tougher, and would prefer him to be fully recovered for that stretch and not risk extending the issue. A week with the firsts should improve Kilton's play.

Shoulder injury at ECU, then played at Albany for a bit...…..

Not saying he would have ruled JMU given their overall speed, but since the injury was deepened, we have not seen him at QB. Now with Anderson dinged......

So they played an injured Mathis in Week 5, got him hurt even more, and now can't redshirt him in a going-nowhere season? That's So London.
