[FB] Game #11: 11/17/18 - 3:30pm - vs Stony Brook

College football is getting really boring. NDSU, Alabama, Mount Union,etc. sameteams over and over and over. Hey, funone tonight...Syracuse vs Cornell in MBB. Boeheim coaching. One son with the ‘cuse and one son with a Big Red. May be a first.

I watched a good bit of the 35-0 pasting NDSU laid on Colgate. They are really in a different category than FCS. Colgate was not even on the same planet talent and execution wise. I know the Fargodome is a tough place to play, but holy cow.

Slightly disagree.  Colgate is a solid, PL team.  Very solid Northeast team.  By no means are they great.  There are many teams that can compete with NDSU.

Moreover, Colgate lost that game because--and as I stated the week before on AGS--their QB play is worse than ours.  Kid can run and doesn't turn it over...but he can't toss the ball more than 10 yards without having air under it.  He has a noodle arm.

NDSU loaded the box...and any yards that 'Gate got were hard earned rumbles.  If 'Gate had a QB that was even mediocre in the passing game, that is a MUCH closer game.  The score was not indicative of how "Gate played on D.  Problem was...they were on the field all day.

According to Committee Chair (Central Ark), SBU wasn’t even among the last three in.  In fact, he said the CAA was insanely strong this year and full of parity. CAA six teams in is a record.  

And then there's Albany.   The bottom feeders.  Wonder what coach Ford thinks?

I agree that Colgate is a solid team and yes, their QB is totally one dimensional. Stick was money every time he threw the ball and they’ve got a three headed running monster. Pass rush was great. Just surprised how easily the Bison pushed the Raider D around from the get go.

Maine getting shut out near halftime... 28-0.

So Maine got smoked. Bad year for the CAA.

Bears needed Ethan Stark to kick that last attempt to get the right bounce off crossbar.
