My official game prediction:
Stony Brook holds UA to 100 yards rushing, most of which will
come from two or three big gains, which will put a lot of
pressure on the senior QB Di Lella. Di Lella will answer and
throw for a slew of yards (around 300), but will also turn the
ball a couple times as uncharactistic as that might seem. Every
quarterback that has put up great passing numbers against us has
also turned the ball over several times. Stony Brook allowed 400
yards passing against Lafayette, but also caused 5 turnovers in
their passing game.
Albany gets stops early on D against Stony Brook, but as Stony
Brook wears out the Albany D and Priore goes threw his different
formations, Brock and Miguel will start to find holes and make
big plays. Look for Norrell, Brevi, and Gush to have big games.
They are talented receivers, and with safeties in the box to
stop the run and back-up corners in coverage (I believe their
two starting cornebacks are hurt), I don't think Albany will be
able to contain them. I think the game will play out a lot like
Presbyterian did at Stony Brook-around 200 yards rushing with a
big day from Essington.
Albany will have to keep with Stony Brook scoring, and I don't
think they'll be able to.

They haven't announced a time yet, but ESPN3 only has two
timeslots for 2PM and one time slot for 3PM. So it will most
likely be an afternoon game

Mike Brown put up over 300 yards last night and had probably
one of the best wide receivers in FCS Chris Sommers to throw to
and couldn't get it done. Bottom line is what is on the score
board not the stat sheet.
We also took away any real rushing threat last night also. We
will be fine next Saturday.

I'm hoping for a very competitive game, and a sold-out crowd at
LaValle like this past saturday. This is a fellow SUNY
institution and hopefully we have a good turnout from Albany
fans. I prefer having fans from both teams.
My prediction for the game is that Stony Brook will hit the 40+
mark once again. I guess thats not much of a prediction
considering the current streak, but anyways, should be a
challenge but we will come out with the W.
42-28!
There's no way Albany can be more of a challenge than Liberty,
in my opinion.

Game kicks off at 2pm.
I love our chances here, but it's still the playoffs, which
means any team who makes it this far has got to be talented.
We match up really well with Albany and they've got a few key
players hurt.
My prediction: SBU 35 - Albany 28

While you cant really compare one program to another very
accurately I see Albany similar to either Presby or GWU. PC
ran pretty well against us and GWU could throw. End of the
day though we wore them down and the rest is history. Liberty
is far stronger opponet than Albany and the back forth scoring
showed that. But once again we wore them down as they became
less efficient in the 2nd half missing pass plays and watching
their O line break down. From what I saw they were running out
of gas by the 4th quarter. We just have to be carefull not to
overlook Albany and get sloppy ourselves.

I also see Albany at about the quality level of Presbyterian
this year. Yes, an upset could happen, but unlike men's
basketball so far, I think the football team has become the real
deal with Essington at the helm. The Wolves have a huge amount
of momentum working for them, and I also don't see them slacking
off the 40+ point pace. Prediction: 45-21 SB.

We have a confident team, but they do a great job playing
game-by-game. Coach Priore has said it all year long. They
transition from game-to-game so well. They don't get over
confident and that's what I think make this team so great. They
will come up on Saturday and get the big W. This is the chance
for SBU football and the Big South to shine. SHS will abuse us
if we get to the second round, but w/e

I might be overly confident but I don't think anyone in FCS can
abuse this team right now. Liberty was probably overrated at
16th in the country, but I'm not sure you can find a school that
matches up better against us. If we can beat Mike Brown, Chris
Summers, and Asa Chapman, I think we can play with anyone.

We'll found out two saturdays from now how tough SMS will be (if
we win against UA).
