@ Villanova 11/15

I've never seen this team go deep so many times in one game.

[uofalbany]

I think you're right... McCarthy had a significant impact in not just Fiacchi, but the entire offense last year.

[uofalbany]

Our D really needs to tackle better.

[DanesRGood]

Nova's offense is just too good.

[uofalbany]

They look like they did against NH.... we've got a ways to go on D

[danefan]

Same as UD. We can't keep contain.

[danefan]

Oh well.

 

I'm glad Fiacchia had a good year so far but it means very little if you don't win rivalry weeks.

 

F Stone Broke

[uofalbany]

Hard to believe there's only one week left....

It will end the year much nicer if we crush their skulls next week.

[reeder]

Taped both the football and basketball games and watched them this morning.

1. Fiacchi had a great game passing. He plays well when he stays within himself.

2. I think Villanova scored on every drive except the fumble that Nicastro recovered and one punt late in the game.

3. Defense with another tough outing. I think it's more than just tackling, there were huge holes and it's been this way since the Columba game. I think some of it is size on the DL and I don't know if there is a fix for that next year.

4. What's up with Ngachie? I know he was hurt but he's come into the last few games as a reserve, he started the year as a reserve MLB and then started as OLB but yesterday Christian Harris started at one OLB and Malachi Hoskins at the other. He did play as a reserve but wonder why he didn't start and get more playing time.

5. Brad Harris and Gontarek and going to be very good for the next three years.

 

Think the season has played out better than expected - let's beat Stony Brook.

Need to do some juco and FBS transfer recruiting on the d-line next year. The CAA teams have exploited us.

I was a little long winded on my basketball post, so I will try to spare you all and keep this brief. I am a little surprised that offensively we seem to have progressed in the caa faster/better than on the defensive end. In the beginning of the year the D looked more ready than the O, but the last few weeks the exact opposite. Anyhow, I said I'd be brief and would like to say it has been an excellent second year overall; and I will raise my excellent to AWESOME with a win over brook next saturday.

For those who don't visit the AGS board, a little kerfuffle after the game

 

Villanova, Albany coaches have angry words

 

AGS discussion thread

 

I would've expected a knee, but don't have a problem with the run.

[uofalbany]

When thing is for sure, I like the fire in Gattuso

[UA'08]

What I read from both sides...Blah blah blah blah

[DanesRGood]

If it was that important to get this senior walk-on some carries then do it when the game is already out of hand early in the fourth quarter. Crap excuse if you ask me. Also, guy sounds like a jerk throwing around his playoff appearances.
