Ambrose is doing a nice job up at UAlbany. Makes you wonder how much he was handcuffed here.

You mean the Albany team who lost to UNH, who we beat; or the Albany team who only beat Towson 24-17, a team we smoked 51-13; or the Albany team who needed overtime to beat Morgan State. I respectfully disagree. Albany might win but Delaware would be favored. I realize Albany beat Villanova but I would still favor Delaware in that game.
Albany didn’t beat Nova, they pounded them. We’ll see how UD manages that game next week
Well, they sure as heck didn’t pound Towson, a team we demolished and they didn’t pound Morgan State. I’ll stick with Delaware in that match up. Maybe, we’ll get a chance to face them in the playoffs.

Albany does have the best quarterback in the CAA

Reese Puffenburger is a playmaker with his arm and swift elusive feet

They found a Diamond in the rough type RB in Freshman Griffen Woodell out of Glen Falls, NY who’s had 100 yard games every time I check

Solid WRs

Having said all that, Delaware is very similar and if healthy we could certainly beat Albany, but I do like Albany
recruiting recruiting recruiting...It ain't rocket science....We need better more athletic players...That simple....

He’s pretty irreplaceable. This might be the fastest Hen team I’ve seen, and I’ve watched since the 50’s. That includes Marker, who amazed me. Not everybody is going to get the touches Yarns did, and that’s good.
I do whatever the Rice Krispies tell me to do.

I feel comfortable having Cumby as the starting running back while Yarn is not available. Runs hard and is fast.

We are in good hands with Cumby.

Maybe it’s time we recognize Andrew Pierce for the job he has done with the RBs.
