Pretty solid announcers on the Fox Sports Net affiliate...

William & Mary strikes first on a QB rollout to the TE via the air...9:16 left in the first quarter...

W&M 7-0 Hofstra...

Confusing...

If your not paying attention...Pride sounds like Tribe...

Hofstra picks up a first down by the nose of the ball to continue their drive...at the H42...

Hofstra is struggling with their passing game here...three straight pass attempts, all they could get was a screen pass...they'll have to punt..

I liked the Tribes aggressive play calling on its first possession.

W&M forces Hofstra to punt on its 2nd possession. Tribe with the ball at its own 19.

W&M felt the pressure coming on that 3rd and 5...

Nice job by Hofstra, W&M fixes to punt...

Hofstra uses their first timeout on 3rd and 11 at their own 40...

Fumble...dump pass complete and then Hofstra coughs it up a few yards shy of the first down...

W&M picks it up in Hofstra territory...

Hofstra having trouble moving on the pass again and fumbles on 3rd and long. Tribe ball on the Pride 42 or so

W&M sure is looking sharp on the defensive side of the ball right now...

What can you tell us about some of those Tribe defenders? Any notables for the home team?

Don't know a lot but I believe the LBs are supposed to be the strength. Some of the other fans know a lot more but they are probably at the game.

End of qtr 7-0 W&M

Tribe stupidly goes for it on 4th and 15 from the 35 and gives up possession

W&M killing itself with 3 Pass Interfence penalties so far. Hofstra driving 1st down at the WM 27.

W&M's pass defense, hit or miss with those penalties...but that was a huge stop in the end zone of a potential Hofstra TD pass on first down...

TD Hofstra 7-7

W&M needs a long drive to give the D a rest

INT Hofstra at their own 45. No biggie because otherwise Tribe punts from their own 15

W&M defense is keeping the pressure up on Hofstra...

There's another sack for the Tribe...forcing 3rd and 18 for the Pride...3/8 on 3rd downs for Hofstra, but Hofstra gets a huge first down into W&M territory...28 yards to the WM38...

W&M came with the pressure, but that Hofstra QB has rockets on his legs...seven yard pickup...W&M gets pressure again and Hofstra's QB throws at his recievers' shoes...

W&M forces Hofstra to act on 4th down...

Hofstra goes for the 45 yd FG and it's good...13-7 Hofstra with 47 ticks left in the 2Q

TOUCHDOWN WILLIAM & MARY

Beautiful 46 YD TD pass with the QB being hit right after he got rid of the ball (roughing the passer)...

Score is now W&M 14-13 Hofstra - 4:39 3Q

Hofstra attempts a FG from 33 yards out...

Kick is blocked...W&M recovers the block...

Poor Hofstra QB...

Seems to be under pressure each time the ball is snapped...

47 yard FG by Hofstra, GOOD...

Hofstra 16-14 W&M 7:20 4q

W&M has a huge defensive stand, uses one timeout and gets the ball back with just around three minutes left, down by two, infront of their home crowd at the WM34...

Hofstra had an INT and dropped it...that was 3rd down...

On 4th down...broken up...

Hofstra with 1:21 left in the 4th has the ball and the game...

Tough loss for W&M... on top of it now they get to come to Amherst and face the top 10 ranked Minutemen from UMass...
