The Frankies' RB Harbridge gained 346(!) yards against Morehead St., but in the SFUPA tradition the Red Flash are giving up an average of 46 points per game, and are already 0-2 in conference.

Penalties have continued so far this week. Curious that St. Francis also has the (PA) after their name on their own webcam.

[UAalum72]

FOURTEEN penalties for 145. After only five in the first two games.

[Dane Pound]

Crazy. Certainly will bite us in the Siena against better teams. I guess a 21 point win AND having something to get on your team about is a coach's dream though isn't it?

 

If things go well the next two weeks games could be battles for first place. Against the Dukes and then Bobby Mo. That Maine loss isn't looking so bad now. Similar score that they beat #6 Delaware by today.

Is it bad that I don't even bother to check the St Francis score until after the game, just assuming it's a win?

 

Seems like a bye week every year to me.

 

Anybody know our average margin of victory against them?

and now 41-20, so an average score about 41-9.

 

That didn't stop us from getting a couple more injuries today - Kirschner limped off, Plungas, one or two others?

Times-Union and Record took their stories from the UA release and the same Ford quote : “We did a lot of positive things on offense, but the penalties kept the game interesting,” Nothing in the Altoona paper either.

 

BTW an earlier Altoona story said SFU was giving 28 1/2 scholarships this year, about the same as Duquesne. Dukes edged Bryant yesterday.
