Colonie's Sam Pagano

[statefan]

A friend of mine told me there was a story on Channel 6 on Friday night that Colonie High's offensive lineman, Sam Pagano had decided to play for UAlbany. I didn't see the story myself. The Times Union lists him as 6'3", 285 lbs. Did anone see this story?

Nope...but holy crap...UA is just getting hogs. Generally lineman throw on about 15-30 lbs before they are done. The thing that impresses me...and is impt., is the height. UA used to get a bunch of 6 or 6'1 guys who weighed alot. Mostly these guys were fat. Now we are getting some height...very impt. for lineman at this level.

Albany has officially become a smashmouth program. I do not see them changing their philosophy anytime soon. These new RB's have game experience and are bigger. BTW I am hearing great things about this Vidal kid!

 

So It looks like another season of 5 yards and a cloud of dust. The good news is that opponents will think now that Jones has graduated that Albany won't have much. So maybe teams will be looking past them. Just a thought. Then again, I don't think anyone takes Albany lightly. An improved D and a good(maybe great) running game should put us in the running for the NEC. The OOC schedule is death!

I hate to state the obvious but we still need a GOOD quarterback to play right away or if he doesn't start next year you need one in house to learn the system. Otherwise every year we'll be in the same situation.

 

As good as we are we can't get significantly better unless we have a solid QB.
