Well, it's a win. I'll watch the replay before I can say anything else about it. I'm really glad RI is our first home game.

Gutty win. Damn. Colgate was the preseason pick to win the Patriot. I'll take it. I

Agreed...while the defense remains a serious work in progress...they gutted this one out and when it counted they held them on that fourth down. Should give them confidence moving forward. Maybe the Patriot league stinks or the team picked 10th in the CAA perhaps isn't all that horrible. Offense continues to look good, really got the running game going.

 

Just hope the kids on D keep growing.

Hooray for the win! CBSportsline still has UA listed as a Northeast League team.

Good game actually. After the dukes game, I was pretty down on this team; but they responded well. The running game was unstoppedable, but Fiacchii did not look too sharp--missed some wide open receivers and the interception off the screen pass showed pretty poor judgement. The D obviously still needs work, but in their defense (no pun intended), I like another post felt colgate was getting away with a lot of holds (not a single holding call and even the "colgate" announcers spotted some). Also, in the first half Fiacchi was tackled out of bounds and the "colgate" announcers had it definitely as a personal foul, but no call by the z's. In the second half a UA defender gets tangled up with the colgate qb both falling out of bounds and colgate gets an extra fifteen yds {or it may have been half to goal line call}. Watch the game again if you get a chance, but their was no PF on the play? Anyhow the D did come up big when they had to.

Not sure if you're a phone or not (auto correct) but his name is Fiacchi, not Farchi

Eli Manning's first pass of the season looked a lot like Fiacchi's screen pass attempt.

[danefan]

He didn't look very sharp.

 

But man did that team show glimpses of the greatness to come.

 

Watching the Big (6'3, 300lb) True Frosh LT Michael Senn get down the field leading on a screen was a beautiful sight.

A little off topic except that it concerns who's on the roster for first 2 games . . . I might have missed a post along the way, but why isn't Dillon Romaine on the roster?

I was going to ask the same thing...I remember last year talking to his mother for about 30 minutes at one of the games (can't remember which)...she was very excited for him to be playing in BoFo...not sure what happened.

Interesting. Found Dillon on the University of New Haven roster for 2013. http://www.newhavenchargers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2066&path=football

What he supposed to be Smith's replacement?

Arguably the highest profile recruit we ever landed until this year. NJ high school player of the year for National Champion Don Bosco Prep. He was the star of that team. Chose us over Montana amongst others.

[danefan]

Not to mention extremely talented ball player. Had a real good freshman year and ended up getting hurt last year.
