Towson goes right down the field to open the game. Jerry Howard has 76 yards on the first drive and we settle for the short field goal. Albany goes right back down the field and they fumbled at the one yard line. Obviously, that's why they are 0-8. They do have some talent on offense. Their run defense is not very good and it showed as the Tigers ran for 247 yards, including 145 from Howard, I thought the most positive thing on offense came with the two great plays by D'Ago Hunter. The long run for 43 yards for a score and the 21-yard reception where he just missed getting in.
On the negative side, we need more of a passing game. Throwing for 128 yards is not going to cut it. I know we got very conservative in the second half. We ran almost exclusively on first down. But it wasn't needed in this game. Against Richmond, we might need 200 yards. Other than the Matthews fumble, the Tigers did not turn it over.
Defensively: the positive. Three forced turnovers. Well one that wasn't really forced at the one. But Christian Dixon knocked the ball out. And Mark Collins. We've been waiting all year for him to jump the route. They were going for a rocket screen there, because why not? Even their coach Calabrese said we were playing 8 yards off the receivers.
To the negative, the pass defense was horrible. We had zero pass rush and you'll check the quotes out later than RA was not thrilled with the third-down defense. That comes back to lack of a pass rush, no blitz for some reason and playing soft on the receivers.
