Is Paul Layton still available?

[HOF2013]

The more I See Davis' play selection the more I think he has no idea!!!

[jimbo]

Another bad INT. Ugh. Looks like OT.

Davis is a good QB coach but a terrible Coordinator. His play selection sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Officials were awful too!!!!  We got screwed on at least 3 KEY NON-calls.....  Kept RI drives alive each time.   Gatuso has a right to be pissed!!!

The only consolation? Not paying for the second month of FloSports to watch this lifeless offense.

One step forward, 3 steps back. UA football.

That reminded me of Freshman JUC in a SBU game I think....he just chucked up long balls and got crushed.  The D gave a really good effort except on the OT play. Dreadfully bad play calling. Yeah. Might be a one month deal.

I haven't watched any games, just followed on Gamecast but I get the impression JUC is not as sharp and dominate as last season.  Not having a downfield threat like Green doesn't help, shotty protection from the O-line, and probably the biggest issue is all the film defensive coordinators have on him from last year including 2 NCAA playoff games.  They have figured how to defend him and make him uncomforable.  Up to him and the coaching staff to make adjustments or it's a .500 season at best.

Hey fellas... we'll always have last season. Looks like the real UAlbany is back.

Men's lacrosse almost doubled that offensive offensive output.

Garbage game. Defense did better overall but still gave up some big plays when it mattered. HORRIFIC play calling on offense.

What is it with Albany athletes?

Rizzuto last year? Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
Rizzuto this year? Our best or 2nd best player.

Cam Healey last year? Best player.
Cam Healey this year? Cam who?

JUC last year? How did UA get him?
JUC this year? Is that Crooks hiding in that #13 jersey?

Wiesneski last year? Great option over the middle.
Wiesneski this year? Option? Middle? Nope.

I think as much is the receiver and play selection by Davis.......  Oedekoven did not play yesterday.  Wide open guys dropping balls.  The 1st INT was not his fault,  Our receiver tipped it to the RI guy.  The second trying to throw it away I think down the middle instead of sideline,

Not ready to to agree with that.  Mostly very young wide receivers, new OLine. 12 penalties last week we lost by 4 - shot ourselves in the foot.  We had too many mistakes yesterday, that with some very poor play selection by Davis???!!!.  Plus lots of new guys who haven't gotten it together yet.  We'll see how they finish.  Even then..........The officiating was really bad yesterday.  Key Non-calls. Eg. Interference was not called on a KEY 3rd down around Mid-field - OBVIOUS.  We have to punt.  If we had maintained possession, who knows.  They did not call the RI defenders all day for interference, just awful.  We finally got a couple of hold calls....We had one they did not call too.  But most were RI DB's that were not called.  Those things change the outcome of a close game and at this level they should be called.
