Where did they find this punter? Punters ‘R Us? Clearance rack?

The dude straight up took a knee.

Hope the kid is a good student because he won't be kicking for long. Football is not in his cards.

To be fair, wasn't he on his knee before he got the ball? Doesn't he then have to get touched down? Otherwise how come a player who catches a ball by accident on his back can get up and run? 

This seemed like an arbitrary call.

Two of the worst defensive plays I have ever seen.  Maine fumbles near the goal line and number 0 tries (unsuccessfully) to scoop it up.  Every kid from Pop Warner age is taught to just fall on the ball and cover it up.  Then on the Maine touchdown Albany jumps offside and the their defense acts as if it were motion and stops playing.  Easy TD pass.

Our line is getting manhandled in the passing game.

I agree with the second, but not necessarily the first. When they showed the replay it looked like that was his only play as his momentum wouldn’t allow him to flop on the loose ball. Splitting hairs maybe, but I’d give him a pass.

Hope they still have the DEF halftime speech from last week.  Gotta run the ball more in 2nd half

JUC is way off.

Yep!

Jeff has NO touch so far!

6'7" TE and Jeff throws the ball at his waist - NO TOUCH.  JMU QB did the exact same thing at the end of the Finals game last year..

It’s also difficult to pass against this press coverage.  Similar to last year - he’s dependent on his receivers creating space and they’ve not done that yet.  It’s harder to throw the underneath pass like he did against New Hampshire because the defenders play so tight and it’s also harder to throw the longer pass because their corners are physical and athletic.
