Can't disagree except for the Rowan game. I know Framingham is good (I have them in the East Region Fan Poll), but Rowan let one get away and that's not like them. I don't like them but I think they will come out "pissed" and also being home.

I agree Rowan can come out on a mission after last week's meltdown. The only reason i think Framingham wins this is beacuse they most likely need to win every game or go 9-1 to get an at large bid for the NCAA tourney a win here would look great on their resume.

RE : Buff state vs Brockport. Offensively it could be a wash. But, Brockport seems to have better balance in their off. They have a homerun hitter in Tyrone NIchols at RB (listed at 6'1" 221 lbs) ..(60 yard TD run vs Lyco) he's usually good for 100 + yards per game rushing behind a big athletic OL that boasts 3 3 year starters. Buff St has Kacz at QB..a duel threat but appears to be a one man band in terms of the run game. Brockports Stoldt is new, but had 270 passing yards and 72 rushing yards vs Lyco (on top of Nichols 130 yards).
Brockport has a new DC and their defense won an award for a "D3 defense of the week" surprisingly.

Looks like it will come down to the defenses. I don't have much faith in Buff st D since Cortland had 475 yards of offense (400 yards passing against it..yikes). Brockport has a very good no huddle passing attack that can shred bad pass defense. They have 2 top receivers, Mrosek and Spalik. One works the middle..one works the sideline.1st all NJAC and All American respectively.
Cortland had 6.1 yards a play vs buff st and Brockport had over 500 yards of offense last year vs them and averaged 7.1 yards per play. Brockport's D seems a little better.
MY prediction...Brockport 35 Buff State 19.

Here are the Cru vs. Kean game notes that were put out by the UMHB SID today.

They are usually very good and telling of what to expect. Hope you enjoy.

I am looking for a big performance by the Red Hawks this weekend, they got the butterflies out, this team really does have a lot of potential, very athletic WR's, our defense and special teams will give our O some good field position.

From God's lips to your ears. See ya at the Train Station. Getting there about 11:00AM with the Family. A win would be nice going to Mayberry next week. Pass it onto the "O" coach to get creatitive. I love surprises.

110-60 and "Keep Pounding".

LET'S  GO  MIGHTY  RED  HAWKS  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buff St. is very suspect defensively.  Cortland left a lot of plays on the field and despite passing for 400 yds, QB play was pretty shaky.  that 400 yds was mostly yardage after the catch.  Buff St. is probably one of the most Jekyll and Hyde teams in D3.  You never know what you are going to get but they seem to be getting better every year.  I think Kacz is a good QB.  Dline is huge and overall a little chippy.  They can beat anyone and can lose to anyone.  I like Brockports consistency and expect they take this one by a couple touchdowns as well.

A win is a win, side note, I was right there and the WR who caught the ball to bring Salve Regina into 1 had both feet about a yard out of bounds, very poor officiating on that play!

Nice seeing you today. Agree on both points, a win is a win and the officiating was not very good. You will hear my rant later.

Good job Buff St in the annual I 90 shootout. 42-40 win.
Over 1000 yards of combined offense. Defenses need not apply. Brockport went from "D of the week " " D of the weak".
Buff st  598 yards of offense (8.3 yards per play !) Brockport 546 yards of O..7.5 yards per play.
Kacz  385 yards passing..89 yards rushing. Bport rookie QB Stoldt 414 passing yards 5 TDs and 0 INTs !
Bport RB Nichols 82 rush yards and 5+ per carry.  Buff st RB Rich Pete steps up with 105 yards rushing and 9.5 yards a carry. wow.
Bports 2 top receivers 100 + each in receiving yards. Buff st rec Mike Doherty 200 + receiving yards( but no TD).
Wow..just a battle of attrition..again it seems.
Congrats to Bengalsfan and Buff St fans. Next week Brockport hosts Alfred under the lights.
Tough pill to swallow for Lancaster native Bport HC Jason Mangone..his offense was lights out again..but now as HC.."his defense" got gashed.

PS..Buff state has already clinched the fictional "Tri SUNY Cup" by already beating Cort and Bport. Sorry..I don't count Morrisville. Maybe when they give up less than 50 points to Hartwick.
