I'm listening on the Albany broadcast too- Somebody tell the announcer that its "Conner" Dixon, not "Cameron" Dixon. Sounds like the broadcast is on TV- I wonder if Fox Sports Albany believes that they could cover a local team?
Some day, the Dukes may have a live broadcast if they ever schedule Pitt.

The game is on WMNY. I have listened since beginning.
Horrible first half. Wow.

I learned today that David Williams will be out two weeks with a separated shoulder. Michael Rasky also did some damage to his upper arm and shoulder but will play. Nathan Totino is good to go on saturday and Tyler Scruggs, who broke his toe is day to day but is probable.

That will hurt against Albany. FYI - I have a work associate that is an Albany alumnus and a Great Dane fan. He said they will be trying to get into CAA in the next couple of years. When I brought up the point that they already have 12 members, he said two might be leaving for BCS competition. Not necessarily a BCS conference. Maybe to the MAC? He said that Albany has told the CAA they are interested if an opening arises.

They certainly are ready to move up. A good program that is going about it the right way with a local market that appreciates it.

I'd like to keep Albany in the NEC above any other team. They lead the way in scheduling (Cincinati) and attitude. Without Albany, the NEC could be just a new MAAC.
I'd like to keep them for at least another 3 years to see what scholarship football, fully applied, can do for the conference.

The RMU game was a huge win for DU for alot of reasons. Obviously, it puts us back in the NEC title hunt and gives the boys confidence as they travel to always tough Albany. It also gives us bragging rights as we try to secure the many recruits that were on hand from the area.
But maybe it finally will convince the AD's office to expand the seating at Rooney permanantly as the overflowing crowd yesterday proved.
As far as the game goes, there was plenty to be happy about. Once again our offense outgained the opponent 408-312. Connor Dixon looked very sharp despite the strong winds that can cause balls to sail and found seven different recievers in the process. Larry McCoy had another solid 100 yd performance as the ground game went for over 200 yds.
Defensively we were very tough on Sinclair who is going to be a very good QB, sacking him 5 times and holding Russ to 87 yds. Totino was an animal with 13 tackles and Scruggs punished Sinclair on numerous plays.
But there were some concerns as I watched this game that I think need to be addressed, namely coaching. First, our boys were hit with many unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, some that kept RMU drives alive and gave them hope, especially in the 4th quarter. I know that this was an emotionally charged game but our coaches need to impress on the boys to keep their cool.
Second, can we learn to work the clock? Up be two scores with 4:00 to go, we're snapping the ball with 25 seconds on the play clock over and over again.
Third, fumbles...5 times we muffed plays and put the ball on the ground. We can't afford to do that against Albany.
In the end however, this was a huge win, one that we HAD to have and I think the Dukes have a chance to make some noise in the NEC.

Totino appeared injured at the end of the game. On the RMC last significant (around 2:30 mins left) series , he appeared to be favoring his left side. Having said that, he did make 4th down tackle that ended the drive.
Any word?
I am not trying to start any rumors, I was just wondering.

Totino says that it was his shoulder that was hurt. Click here for article in Pgh. Tribune Review. While at the game, I listened to the Robert Morris broadcast of the game on occasion. (Interestingly the broadcast on WPIT 730AM was not on any delay unlike the Dukes' broadcast on WMNY 1360AM which was on at least a 5-second delay. It's clearly more helpful when watching the game in person to hear the broadcast as the action unfolds rather than getting the information several seconds after the play has been completed.) Both announcers on WPIT discussed Totino's injured arm. They wondered why he wasn't taken out of the game but complimented his play in spite of his injury.

Thanks, I missed the Trib article. It was fairly apparent on the last drive that he was hurt. I hope he is okay.

TS- I think the biggest improvement is that our quarterbacks only took one sack and actually had positive yardage rushing. too many times in previous games we had 2nd or 3rd and long yardage due to sacks.
