And gets worst performance for losing by a field goal to a USD? Must have been a tough week to pick one because it was UNI's best conference game this year.

AJ Pena for Rhode Island with 4 sacks
Nice observation
He’s a beast
Found this clip on twitter. Albany's terrible, to be fair, but I laughed at the first clip with their RT desperately reaching his arms out and not really being able to touch him.
