Albany at Maine Game Thread

[danefan]

Danes looking pretty good actually. Conservative offense. Solid defense. Can't ask for anything more the first quarter of the season.

[Dane96]

Jacobs one man show for Maine.

[GD06]

another turnover for Maine...wow

[danefan]

DANES BALL!!!!!

[Dane96]

FUMBLE....ALBANY WITH THE BALL INSIDE MAINE TERRITORY.

Hard to believe that Smith beat out Treister in practice........according to Cosgrove.

[danefan]

Lets pound the hell out of the ball this series and run the clock down for the half.

I can't believe it either. Just look at what Treister did last year!

I have to believe we'll see Treister in the 2nd half.

[Dane96]

Ummm...knew Kirchner was ok...but he is having a Dan Gemelin game. WOW.

[danefan]

Ummm...knew Kirchner was ok...but he is having a Dan Gemelin game. WOW.

Yeah, he showed some signs last year of being really good. And he's got 3 years left.

[Dane96]

DiLella...eeek....made two straight rookie moves.

49yd FG just short.

Maine ball.

Albany 3

Maine 0

10:30 to go ball on Maine 30.

[danefan]

Bad series for Albany. Need to capitalize on those turnovers.

[danefan]

Trevor Anderson is a beast!

And he's got great hair.

[Dane96]

Agreed.

Danes D is shockingly real good with only 3 returnees.

DiLella looks strong.

Danes should be up at least 10.

You don't know Maine's coaches very well.......they've got something to prove.

Maine seriously needs a new OC.......he's been painfully horrible over numerous seasons with his playcalling.

[Dane96]

Yah...dreads are looking sick.

Smith just owned the entire Maine D on a counter.

[Dane96]

And boom goes the dynamite.

Albany started churning yards....and Albany fumble. Play under discussion.

Smith ruled down on the play....no fumble. Albany 2nd and 5.

[Dane96]

Oy.....DiLella some rookie moves. Slide kid...slide...you had the first down. Fumble by DiLella recovered by Albany.

[Dane96]

Who the f was the RG on that play...jesus. Totally missed his assignment.

[Dane96]

SMMMMMMMITH.

Damn it...broke a tackle and got fumblitis again.

[Dane96]

I am in shock over how well the Albany D has played. It is like they haven't missed a beat with the loss of 8 guys...including a bunch of all-NEC'ers.

Albany has had most, if not all, of the scoring opportunities, holding the ball for nearly 22 minutes.

I suspect Maine will come out flying in the 2nd.

At the half:

Albany 3
Maine 0

[GD06]

another turnover for Maine...unreal

[danefan]

Tough to tell but it looked like Kirchner stayed in. Two officials right there though to call him out.

[GD06]

There ya go...give it to Smith! bam

[danefan]

I totally called that fake punt!

My wife as my witness.
