AtlantaTiger 205 Report post Posted October 8, 2023 I can’t get too bent out of shape about a 7 point loss to an Albany team that thumped Villanova and had very respectable showings against FBS programs Hawaii and Marshall. They are a better team than we are at this point in time but we’re clearly better than we were in week 1. Progress. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blounge 521 Report post Posted October 8, 2023 It makes me sad that Albany has surpassed us as a program. We used to make fun of them as the perennial losers, the scooby doo’s! They have beat us at home twice in recent memory. Albany, NY seems like a less attractive destination than Towson, MD but somehow we couldn’t snag the Terps QB that they did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As to the QB, we’d have to ask Ambrose whether he even recruited him and, if so, why he couldn’t snag him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,235 Report post Posted October 8, 2023 It’s possible that three things exist. 1)You can be angry about the penalties, especially from No. 9, who I think had another PF against UNH. The ridiculous amount of running the football when we were incredibly unproductive. 2)0-3 at home is inexcusable even for a first year coach with a completely new scheme on both sides of the ball. 3)But you can see some of the progress of the passing game thanks to Runyon being a focal point. Or the improvement and adjustments made in the second half on defense. Some progress was made since Monmouth. As frustrated as I was last night, my expectations were not playoffs after the UNH win. I knew this was a pretty good Albany team. Maybe a playoff team. To me, this season is about getting better each game and limiting the horrific penalties, especially dead ball penalties. Despite the awful rushing numbers last night, we are still a running team. Even if Hunter is out indefinitely, then Matthews is adequate but let’s see what Chris Watkins can do or Curtis Murray. Watkins is a really elusive runner and Murray has some home run ability. Not sure ability the status of Tyrwll Green, but hopefully he’s in the mix in two weeks. I know there are limitations at qb and when PS says yesterday that running the ball despite averaging 2.4 ypc at the one was the best option against that defensive line? You’re telling me all I need to know about their confidence in #15. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, the jury hasn’t even begun its deliberations yet. Despite my doubts, I’m fairness this season is a free pass for him. The real test is going to be what he does in the offseason in terms of recruiting and the portal The change was a few years too unfortunately 2 hours ago, Blounge said: It makes me sad that Albany has surpassed us as a program.

Elon and Albany. URI has also sped by. Luckily stony Brook is awful too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Us, Hampton, NCAT, StonyBrook Definitely in the lower half of the league consistently now. Likely will improve down the road with this coach (can’t get worse really so), but fan support is lower than it’s been in years. Next year, even if we are good, there are two guaranteed losses and would need to go 8-2 to sniff the playoffs. It is becoming an expense venture at this point…. Never good when you have double the amount of different helmets as you do wins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
