JORDAN OUT FOR SEASON

Redshirt senior linebacker Kyle Jordan will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury suffered in the CCSU game. In two contests this season, Jordan recorded 12 tackles (6 solo), forced two fumbles, including the game-winning play that led to a 79-yard touchdown against Holy Cross. Jordan missed the majority of the 2013 season with a lower body injury as well, appearing in four games. In his career, Jordan recorded 126 tackles (76 solo), forced five fumbles, and recovered three in 29 games.

Time for those fancy 3-star recruits from Good Counsel to step up.

This sucks...big loss.

[Dane96]

Big Loss, especially after he worked hard to get back from last year's injury. Good kid! Ngachie stepped into that role last year, and he will have to continue with it this year. Hopefully this helps him become a leader with Nicastro for the next two years.

URI Game Notes

 

Albany Game Notes

So how does this work in football? Has Jordan now wasted two years of eligibility?

[Dane Pound]

I think the five year clock starts once you step on campus. You have five years to play four which would be five this year. You'd have to petition the NCAA for a sixth year.

 

Like 96 said, it sucks for a guy who worked so hard to get back this year. Those guys are the ones who really love the game.

[UAalum72]

"Kyle Jordan suffered a season-ending hamstring injury that will probably end his career, barring a successful appeal to the NCAA for an extra year."

 

No-Names making mark

[haggyland]

I thought you were allowed one each of a developmental redshirt and a medical redshirt, with the developmental redshirt always limited to one and occurring in the first year, and the medical redshirt being limited to one unless successfully petitioned to the NCAAs. This conception is, per usual, not based on any actual research.

[UAalum72]

Nope. Salukis are an Egyptian dog breed, the Bryant Bulldogs, and the Wofford Terriers are all ahead of us.

 

Creepy

Actually that mascot is more realistic than most costumes

[Clickclack]

When they lose, do they get asked why the long face?

[alum73]

Anyone want a ride, or a rider, to the game?

Sportbet has Albany -7 1/2 with an over/under of 33

What does that mean again? That the total points will be 33 +/- 7.5 points? I'm in a pool at work (pickin games in the NFL and I have no clue what these stupid numbers mean - although I did win last week by getting 11 games right lol). So if Albany wins by more than 8 basically, they 'get the point'...?

There are two separate bets there.

33 represent the number of points the general public thinks will be scored combined for both teams.

 

I say "general public" because first a professional odds maker decides these numbers; then numbers adjust depending on which way the bets are going.

 

-7.5 means the general public thinks UAlbany is favored by that many points. Essentially, at kickoff, the score is already URI 7.5, UAlbany 0.

 

If all of the bets come in for UAlbany then the "line" (the 7.5 number) will increase making UAlbany even more of a favorite..on paper only!

 

At the end of the game for the "line" portion, you can either subtract 7.5 points from UAlbany's score OR add it to URI's.

For the "over/under", simply add the two scores together, and compare it to which way you thought it would go (high scoring aerial battle or low scoring defensive game.)

 

(And don't try to subtract the "line" from the "over/under"!)
