Fordham 7 Albany 0 at the half

If we could get some Offense we may be able to pull this off. Either way our D is pretty good.

How long until Bocanegra becomes the starter? Delgado struggles and is pulled early, Bazan can't / won't pass the ball.

 

Defense will keep them in the game but they need to find a way to move the ball offensively.

Offense is awful...2 fumbled snaps

[grrreatdanes]

Previous posts were correct. Defense looked very good at times. The offense had difficulties moving the ball. But I did see one of the most spectacular catches that I've ever seen in a football game!

GRRRREAT NAME! (The old announcer had that sounding awesome). Please describe the catch.

 

Gotta tell ya, I had a bouncer give me score updates off his cell phone. I was very deflated when I heard this score. Definately sounds like a game that we have in week 6 or so.

 

What is the deal with ULI and BAZAN; Is it Frosh time yet?

I think grrreatdanes is referring to the catch that Walls (#40) made. Ball was really overthrown and he completely laid out to make the catch. Really big-time play and the crowd went bananas-of course Albany didn't capitalize. After watching these first two games I really like the Walls kid. He seems to play with alot of energy and from witnessing that Saturday he has very good hands. I think that was the only time he touched the ball, they need to find a way to get him more touches.

 

Saturday was Delgado's first time out so it seems kind of early to pull the plug on him. If he struggles against teams in our league then I'd agree but to have your first start coming off an injury and against a Patriot league team it seems premature to be talkiing about taking him out. That said, if it weren't for mistakes by our offense I don't know that Fordham would have scored either.

 

Nice crowd by the way. Box score listed it as 4400 and there were a fair amount of tailgaters in the RACC lot. I don't know if they were Fordham fans or not but hopefully it keeps up.

I was away for the weekend, but caught the replay on TW3 last night. Dane Pound, I saw you in a crowd shot at the beginning of the third quarter. Now for one comment which I acknowledge I am not in way medical or football way qualified to make: It looked to me like Delgado should not have been playing. His limp was obvious and notable and it has to affect his ability to plant when throwing. Personally, I would have preferred that they held him out until conference games begin.

Albany didn't capitalize because Wall's layout 31-yard catch in the third q. only got us out to our own 43. Albany WRs were slightly open deep a couple of times, but the QB couldn't get it there, at least in time; Kornegay both closes real fast and also jumps well to knock away the ball - he's only 6-0.

 

Fordham tailgaters were supposed to go to the Dutch lot - at least some of the TG were Albany students, including the WBB team.

 

I don't think there were more than 500 Fordham fans there, so we still had one of the biggest non-homecoming crowds in recent years.

they may not always be easy to schedule, but UA should plan a few night games per season ... great success ... nice to see a supportive crowd of 4K+ and an active RACC parking lot for a non-homecoming game ... keep the marketing dept. active ... nice effort by the Dane defense to keep it close ...
