Ball hits the ground for Salisbury again but bounces right to them.

4th and 5 at the 30 and SU converts - biggest play of the game so far.

[Old IC Voice]

TD Salisbury. Ugh.

TD Salisbury. Ugh.

That should do it.  IC had their chance inside the 20 with 7 minutes to go but the dropped pass on 3rd and 5 really cost them.  Most likely would have been first and goal with a chance to tie.  Vossler, we miss you.

[Old IC Voice]

Pick by Hendel after a long drive, and that'll for sure do it.

Not a bad effort by IC, but the passing game issues are going to give this team nightmares for a while, I think.

INT seals it for the Gulls.

Well, the Bombers clearly can't pass the ball at all. Hendel, Nuemann, it doesn't matter. They simply won't be scoring much this year. Seven turnovers and three touchdowns in two weeks.

On the other hand, the Bombers' defense continues to look excellent. Two weeks, 28 points allowed, and considering how good Salisbury's supposed to be, and that Will Carter was again not starting, you have to think every game is going to be this sort of battle.

14/33 for 116 passing yds. and 3 picks between the 2.

Six picks on the season, two scores. Granted, Salisbury is good, but ugh.

Hendel had eight carries for 41 yards. To me, that's the difference maker between the two. Someone has to make plays, and at least he can do it with his feet.

Sulla was solid, 13 carries for 52 yards, but that's not going to get the job done with this QB situation.

Yes, Hendel was pretty agile today and had a few good runs.  That 8 carries probably includes a sack or two so that skews the averages.  Agreed with your assessment of Sulla - he is quick and had a few good runs.  I figured the team would be 3-1 going into the bye in 2 weeks.  They need to bounce back next week with a solid performance against Union and then take care of Hartwick before the meat of the schedule hits.  Salisbury is good, but will not go undefeated in the E8.  Ithaca showed signs of promise today and if they can figure the QB situation out, can be very dangerous.  If not, every game will be like you said, a battle.

Halftime 7-3 Buff St. over Fisher....

Halftime 7-3 Buff St. over Fisher....

I don't know if Buff State has gotten a lot better a lot quicker, or if Fisher is just struggling, but I did not expect that.

Likely a combo plate....or, in Rochester, a garbage plate? Buff State definitely on the rise with Boyes, Fisher O-line very young, inexperienced. But another half to go.

Union leads Utica 10-9 at the half.

[fisheralum91]

Fisher Offense is looking very inexperienced...
Kramer making mistakes, yet shows brilliance....Needs to settle down.....O Line is not great....they need to give Kramer time...

[Bombers798891]

Utica driving on Union...picking up 4th and 9...now inside the 20
