CCSU Alone in First after Topping Danes
NEW BRITAIN — The irony wasn’t lost on Central’s football team. A year ago at Albany, the Blue Devils staged a stirring comeback, only to miss the would-be-tying two-point conversion with 55 seconds left. Saturday, Albany needed a two-point conversion to tie the game with 59 ticks on the clock.
This time, the Great Danes missed and Central had a great win.
An offensive pass interference call wiped out Albany’s first try at the conversion, and Central’s Ray Saunders tackled quarterback Vinny Esposito to stop the Danes’ second try as Central hung on for a 31-29 win before 3,698 raucous fans at Arute Field.
“The tables turn fast,” CCSU quarterback Aubrey Norris said. “We had to get this win.”

AMHERST - University of Massachusetts football coach Kevin Morris knows all about Albany coach Bob Ford, but that will not make Saturday night’s home opener any easier.
“What I know is that we had better be prepared, because he and his team will expose any flaws,” Morris said as the Minutemen (0-1) eyed the 6 p.m. game against Albany (0-1) at McGuirk Alumni Stadium.
“Coach Ford will leave no stones unturned.”
Wagner still smarting after opening-weekend loss
Matt Martin was a pre-season All-Northeast Conference first team selection. (Photo by David Saffran)Wagner College’s season-opening 45-42 loss to Stonehill last weekend was like a punch to the stomach.
Or so it seemed to fifth-year senior Matt Martin, the team’s 6-foot-4, 315-pound right offensive guard.
Mountain Hawks Regroup After Rough Start to Season
It wasn’t supposed to start this way.
Not after all of the optimistic talk and positive vibes through the offseason. Not with a clear-cut choice and the reigning Lehigh-Lafayette MVP back at quarterback. Not with a gorgeous late-summer Saturday that eliminated bad weather as a potential obstacle.
Maybe Central Connecticut State is so good it will roll to the Northeast Conference title and qualify for the FCS playoffs.
Maybe Lehigh will look back on its disappointing opener and say it was just the kick in the pants needed to jump-start the season.
But for now, what happened Saturday at Goodman Stadium has to be alarming to anyone who cares about the program.
Lehigh Offense Listless in 28-21 Defeat to Central Connecticut State
Central Connecticut State, coached by a Lehigh Valley native, dominates play.
Saturday ended much better than it started for Jeff McInerney.
The Central Connecticut State football coach torn a quadriceps muscle in the morning when he slipped in his hotel shower.
It forced him to get around on crutches the rest of the day.
That was about the only thing preventing him from jumping for joy as he watched his Blue Devils dominate on the ground and in other areas in posting a stunning 28-21 win over Lehigh before 6,140 mostly disappointed fans at Goodman Stadium.
Former Monmouth Hawk Nalbone Named To Miami Dolphins’ 53 Man Roster
MU Record Holder One Of Four Tight Ends Kept By The Dolphins
With a 4 p.m. deadline looming on Saturday to cut down to 53 active players, the Miami Dolphins decided to keep former Monmouth Hawk tight end John Nalbone, making the former Hawk the second MU player in the NFL.
Lehigh Has Tough Task of Stopping CCSU's Potent Rushing Attack
The Lehigh University Mountain Hawks are going to have to do some adjusting to deal with Central Connecticut State’s offense in Saturday’s season opener at Goodman Stadium.
After an offseason of scrimmaging against the same players and schemes, the Mountain Hawks have to deal with an option-oriented Blue Devils team with featured running back James Mallory coming off a 1,520-yard season.
Lehigh coach Andy Coen said CCSU will look to establish the run early and often with its preseason All-American back.
Doscher to start opener for Wagner
Ask Walt Hameline about the decision to start freshman and Moore Catholic HS product Nick Doscher at quarterback in tomorrow’s season opener against Stonehill, then stand back.
You are about to be verbally overwhelmed by words like ability, maturity, poise, strength and composure.
And that’s just for starters.
UAlbany Football Will Play First-Ever FBS Opponent with Trip to Cincinnati in 2011 Season
Albany, N.Y. – University at Albany Vice President and Director of Athletics Lee McElroy announced on Thursday, Aug. 27 that the school’s football program will play its first NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponent when the Great Danes travel to the University of Cincinnati for the projected 2011 season opener. UAlbany has competed at the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level since 1999.
Wagner College veterans ready to rebound in '09
To say that Matt Martin, Tavares Lee and Joe Harkins have turned a negative into a positive is an understatement. Negative doesn’t do justice to Lee’s and Martin’s mental state last fall when injuries apparently wiped out their senior seasons at Wagner College.
Monmouth Completes First Fall Scrimmage
Defense dominates early on, offense heats up in the latter part of the day
Monmouth University’s football team completed the first of two planned scrimmages on Friday afternoon, with positive results in all three facets of the game.
