       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).
