Albany at Delaware, Mr. C's Official Game Thread

[Mr. C]

We are a few minutes from game time for the Albany-Delaware football game at Delaware Stadium and Tubby Raymond Field. Temperatures are in the mid-60s and though it has been cloudy, it doesn't seem like rain is likely anytime soon. This is a huge game for Delaware, coming off its 62-28 loss at Maine last week. The stands are slowly filling up a bit, but it will be interesting to see how many of the Blue Hen faithful make the trip today. Delaware is 4-2 overall and 1-1 in the CAA, while Albany is 1-5 and 0-2 in its first-year transition to the CAA.

This will be an interesting game for me in another sense. It will likely be the final time I get to watch a Bob Ford-coached team at Albany, considering this 75-year-old coaching icon will be retiring after the season.

[Mr. C]

This is game one of a doubleheader for me again today. I'll be heading down I-95 after the game to get to the Towson-Villanova showdown.

[Mr. C]

They are doing the coin toss at midfield. Delaware wins the toss and chooses to receive.

[Mr. C]

They are honoring Bob Ford briefly, recognizing his 45th year as Albany's head coach and all of his accomplishments and noting to the crowd that Ford is retiring after the season. Coach Ford is one of my favorite people in FCS. He is a true gentleman and has one of the most extensive coaching trees of anyone in college football.

[Mr. C]

A nice kick near the home sideline drops in at the 8 and Michael Johnson has to field it and is tackled at the Delaware 13. Great kick coverage for the Great Danes.

[Mr. C]

Nice fake by QB Trent Hurley on the read option for 9 yards on first down and a bubble screen to Michael Johnson on second down for a loss of2. 3rd and 3.

[Mr. C]

Good penetration for Albany's interior line and Andrew Pierce is stopped for no gain. Punt time.

[Mr. C]

Albany gets the ball at its own 49 after the punt for its first possession.

[Mr. C]

The visiting side of the field is about two-thirds full and the student section in the end zone is only about half-full. Disappointing crowd.

[Mr. C]

This is the first of a tripleheader for the CAA on TV today.

[Mr. C]

Sprint pass from Will Fiacchi for 9 yards on 1st down. A rush by Omar Osbourne for no gain on second down. Fiacchi bootlegs for five and first down at the Delaware 38.

[Mr. C]

A deep pass on the play fake is dropped by Gay inside the 10 near the sideline. Osbourne rushes to the 36, setting up a third and 8.

[Mr. C]

Good protection and Fiacchi hits his tight end Parker over the middle for the 1st down at the UD 23. 13 yards on the play. Osbourne runs to the 18 for 5. 2nd and 5.

[Mr. C]

A bit of a pass rush from David Tinsley forces an incompletion. 3rd and 5.

[Mr. C]

Fiacchi avoids a big hit and scrambles for 4. 4th and 1, Albany is going for it.

[Mr. C]

Outside zone play to the right for Osbourne is successful for the 1st down at the UD 11. RT Adam Pasnik is injured on the play and it looks like a knee injury.

[Mr. C]

As always, feel free to post your comments, questions, observations, etc. It is a lot more fun that way. Anyone at the Tub using their hand-held devices to keep up with AGS today? Mr. Chicken are you out there?

[Mr. C]

A well-defended option pitch to the left results in a 3-yard loss to the 14.

[Mr. C]

2nd longest drive of the season for a Delaware opponent this season.

[Mr. C]

A Johnson return gives Delaware the ball at the 24. Loss of one on a 1st-down run by the Blue Hens.

[Mr. C]

Pierce looks like his All-American self for 22 yards on his next carry to the UD 45. Pierce loses one on the next play. He went over 4,000 yards (third best in Blue Hen history) last week at Maine. 2-yard run for Pierce on second down. 3rd and 9 upcoming and Hurley passes to Jones for minus-3 and it is punt time again.

[Mr. C]

After a 33-yard punt from Eric Enderson gave Albany good field position on the first drive, he hits a 36-yarder this time to the Great Dane 21. 5:10 left in the first period.

Stadium attendance looks very sparse.

Fade route to Opoku is broken up by Polk as Hurley throws it too soon and too high.

Delaware 10, Albany 10, 7:17 left in the second quarter

Punt time for Albany with under six minutes left in the half.

[Mr. C]

Jones powers for 17 yards on the punt return, but a flag for running into the punter is called on Delaware and for some reason declined. Ball to Delaware at its own 42.

[Mr. C]

Where are all the Delaware fans Online today?

And we come out of the Albany time out and Delaware has to burn a time out. Two time outs left for both teams. A Delaware fan yells out to Dave Brock's staff "Have you ever coached football before?"

[Mr. C]

Delaware carries out a bunch of fakes on the play, but it is Andrew Pierce up the middle with the ball for a 4-yard TD burst. The botched hold leads to a blocked PAT.

[Mr. C]

Delaware 16, Albany 10, 1:35 left in the first half

[Mr. C]

A short run and a sack against Albany leave the Great Danes facing a third and 8 with a minute left in the half. The Great Danes call time out No. 2.

[Mr. C]

Third and 13 for Albany and what should have been an interception sails through the hands of a defensive back from Delaware near the 35.

[Mr. C]

A wind-blown punt is downed at the Delaware 49. The Blue Hens have 46 seconds left to do something here with a pair of time outs left.

[Mr. C]

Hurley is sacked at the Delaware 42 by DE Andrew Smith. Time out No. 2 for Delaware with 39 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

That sack may have been directly related to the injury to Latson. Freshman Connor Bazick replaced Latson.

Trips right one RB for Albany and Fiacchi throws an interception to Travis Hawkins, who is tackled at the UA 3 with 1 second left in the half.

[Mr. C]

Hawkins was shaken up on the play on the far sideline, but comes off on his own power. 66 yards on the interception return. Very bad pass by Fiacchi.

[Mr. C]

Albany brings heavy pressure as Delaware GOES for it on the final play of the half, instead of kicking a near-sure field goal. The screen pass is incomplete.

[Mr. C]

Delaware 16, Albany 10 at halftime

[Mr. C]

Delaware is celebrating its 1963 national championship team, with 40 members of the squad on hand.

[danefan]

They are honoring Bob Ford briefly, recognizing his 45th year as Albany's head coach and all of his accomplishments and noting to the crowd that Ford is retiring after the season. Coach Ford is one of my favorite people in FCS. He is a true gentleman and has one of the most extensive coaching trees of anyone in college football.

classy move by Delaware.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Last play of the half was baffling, why not go for the easy 3?

This game is closer than it should be. Delaware has been dominating on both sides of the ball since the poor early series. Some unfortunate penalties and a great fake punt from Albany have kept them in the game.

[danefan]

Keep an eye on Ngachie at LB Dave. He's phenomenal IMO. True Frosh.

[Mr. C]

Have to wonder about the decision to go for a TD and not kick a field goal that would have made it a two-possession game for Delaware at the end of the half. To use a baseball analogy, it seemed like a Don Mattingly-type decision for those who have been watching the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs.

I would have gone for a field goal to make it a 9-point lead. Might come back to haunt Dave Brock.

[Mr. C]

classy move by Delaware.
Have other schools been doing this? Bob Ford is such a class act that he deserves all of this on his last go-around.

[Mr. C]

Keep an eye on Ngachie at LB Dave. He's phenomenal IMO. True Frosh.
He made one really huge play in the first half.

[Mr. C]

Delaware holds a 234-130 edge in total offense for the first half.

[Mr. C]

Albany will take over at the 25 after a touchback to start the second half. 7-yard run for Osbourne on 1st down and a 1st-down run to the 36 for 4 on second down.

[Mr. C]

It has gotten windier and windier as the game has progressed. I'm hearing the weather is wet, windy and miserable an hour away in Dover for the Norfolk State-Delaware State game.

[Mr. C]

Vince Hollerman sacks Fiacchi on third down to force a Albany punt. The ball sails through the wind and Jones wisely let's it go as the ball is downed at the UD 31. 12:16 left in the third quarter.

[Mr. C]

Pierce with a nice run on 1st down to the UD 44. 13 yards on the play

Pierce looks like he has an extra burst to start the second half and he races for 14 on the next play to the 42

Ryan Cobb with a reception at the 36 for 6. 2nd and 10

Laing cuts against the grain to the UA 27 as Delaware plays jet tempo.

Michael Johnson breaks one tackle on a tunnel screen but is tackled after a 7-yard reception.

[Mr. C]

40-yard Sean Banner field goal attempt sails wide right as his holder has to reach wide to his right to grab another shaky snap. Have to think the wind caught that kick a bit.

[Mr. C]

Delaware still ahead 16-10 with under 10 minutes left in the third period.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne with a short run and Fiacchi with a nice scramble for an 8-yard burst and a first down at the UA 34.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne against the grain on an inside zone play to the 42. 2nd and 2.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne straight ahead to the UA 47 for the 1st down. Good job up front on the 11-yard run.

TE Brian Parker impresses again with a catch at the UD 31 for 16 yards.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne inside again to the 29. 2nd and 8.

[Mr. C]

I like Albany's offensive tempo right now.

Beauvais gives Osbourne a break and spurts outside for 4. 3rd and 3 at the UD 25.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne smashes ahead to the 24 for 1. 4th and 3 and Albany will go on 4th and 3.

[Mr. C]

Nice clear out against the Delaware zone and Fiacchi hits Gay near the sideline for 15 yards. 1st anf goal at the UD 9.

5 yards on the run by Osbourne to the 4

[Mr. C]

Osbourne finds a hole and spurts into the end zone for a touchdown, his second of the game and his eighth of the season.

[Mr. C]

O'Riordan's PAT makes it Albany 17, Delaware 16



11 plays, 77 yards, 5:00 on the drive

19 carries for 60 yards and two TDs on the day for Osbourne.

[Mr. C]

The next series for Delaware is going to be a huge momentum changer one way or the other in this game. May be the key phase of the game.

[Mr. C]

Hawkins spin to the 30 on the kick return for Delaware, but a really stupid penalty at the end of the play is going to set the Blue Hens back to the 14. Offensive face mask on Delaware. Anger issues on that play.

[Mr. C]

Boyle comes underneath for a 7-yard reception, but is drilled by Idowu at the end of the play.

[Mr. C]

Pierce runs to the 28 for 8 yards.

[Mr. C]

Rob Jones goes 72 yards on a reverse, picking up some nice blocks downfield for a Delaware TD.

[Mr. C]

More trouble on the PAT hold for Greenway, who fumbles. After a rugby scrum, Albany returns the live ball to the Great Dane 40 before the play ends.

[Mr. C]

Delaware 22, Albany 17, 3:48 left in the third period

[Mr. C]

The Jones TD run was the longest run from scrimmage for a Delaware player since Andy Hall went for 75 yards against Hofstra during the 2003 national championship season.

Yes Virginia, Hofstra used to have a college football team. And Dave Brock used to be an assistant coach for the Flying Dutchmen/Pride.

[Mr. C]

Quick 3 and out for Albany and a near block on the punt. Delaware's Jones returns the ball to the UD 37. 1:50 left in the third period.

[Mr. C]

Randolph with the change of pace run to the 37. 2nd and 10.

[Mr. C]

Delaware runs a reverse to Jones again, who tries to throw and has his hand hit on the throw. He is lucky it isn't intercepted.

[Mr. C]

For the third time today, Hurley picks up a first down on a run. 1st down at the UD 48.

Pass for zero to Cobb.

Delaware is working on a new holder on the sideline.

[Mr. C]

After a gain to the 49, offsetting penalties wipe out everything.

[Mr. C]

Pierce with an outside zone to the UA 46, 2nd and 5 coming up when we start the fourth period.

Delaware 22, Albany 17 after three periods.

[Mr. C]

I really wasn't expecting Albany to hang around in this game today. It has been a gutsy performance by the Great Danes against one of the powerhouse programs in FCS. But then, we've seen this movie before hear at the Tub.

[Mr. C]

Delaware is stealing Wisconsin's Jump Around song between periods. I'd rather see the toast toss at Franklin Field.

[Mr. C]

Pass to Pierce for a first down to the UA 39.

[Mr. C]

Hurley does his best Fran Tarkenton improv before throwing the ball away.

[Mr. C]

Perfect read by Prosper Mbongue-Muna, who sheds a block and ruins a reverse to Jones for a loss at the UA 45.

Another Tarkenton scramble for Hurley, who has to throw it away. 4th down and punt time for the Blue Hens.

[Mr. C]

Nice read on the fair catch for Albany at the 13.

Musical interlude of Carl Orff's O Fortuna. Anyone remember the battle scenes from Excaliber?

[Mr. C]

Born In The USA by Springsteen is the next selection. What? Do the Blue Hens think that Albany is part of Canada?

[Mr. C]

384-227 lead for Delaware in total offense, but an 87-yard drive could give the Great Danes a lead with 13 minutes left.

[Mr. C]

6 yards for Osbourne and then 6 more to the 25 for a first down.

[Mr. C]

Beautiful pass and catch Fiacchi to Chillis for 49 yards to the UD 26.

[Mr. C]

Another hard zone read run by Osbourne to the 17, third and 1.

[Mr. C]

Meak with the Wildcat run to the 12. 1st and 10.

[Mr. C]

Option for Jake Meak for no gain. Good pursuit to stop a potentially big run for the Delaware defense.

[Mr. C]

Fake reverse and 12-yard TD pass from Will Fiacchi to FB Nick Ketter. Albany 23, Delaware 22, 10:09 remaining.

[Mr. C]

17,363 attendance at the Tub today

[Mr. C]

Delaware returns the kickoff to the 24 to start a crucial drive.

[Mr. C]

[Mr. C]

After another short Pierce run, Hurley runs almost out of bounds before throwing another pass away with heavy pressure. 4th down punt again with under 9 minutes left.

[Mr. C]

Fair catch for Albany, which will start at the UA 27 with 8:45 left.

[Mr. C]

Delaware needs to have its head up for some play-action passing from Albany on this drive. This is a chance for the Great Danes to really make a move.

[Mr. C]

Counter-type movement on the zone read for Osbourne to the 32. 2nd and 5.

Osbourne again to the 33. 3rd and a long 4.

[Mr. C]

Slant to Gay, who fought hard to get open and get the first down at the UA 39.

[Mr. C]

Zone read to Osbourne for 7 to the UA 46. 28 carries, 101 tough yards for this kid.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne carries to the 46 again on a power play. 3rd and 3.

[Mr. C]

A great bubble screen to King to the UD 30, but an illegal block on the play is going to bring it back with 5:47 left.

[Mr. C]

The flag is picked up, so Albany will get the first down at the Delaware 30.

[Mr. C]

Osbourne runs for 7 to the 23. 2nd and 3.

Because the screen pass was thrown to someone behind the line of scrimmage, there was no illegal block on the third down play.

[Mr. C]

Gain of 2 by Osbourne to the 21.

[Mr. C]

Don't think Osbourne got the first down on the third and 1 run as Delaware's defense makes a big play. 4th down decision time.

[Mr. C]

The game is on the line right here for Delaware on fourth and one and Osbourne breaks off-tackle for a 21-yard TD run.

[Mr. C]

Too much time for Hurley, who finally finds Rob Jones in the corner of the end zone for a 20-yard TD pass. Delaware needs two points to tie with 1:42 left.

Albany 30, Delaware 28

[Mr. C]

As Hurley comes from shotgun formation to under center to audible, Albany calls a time out to reset its defense for the two-point Blue Hen try.

[Mr. C]

Trips right, one RB left. Motion and fade route to Johnson is good. Albany 30, Delaware 30 with 1:42 left.

[Mr. C]

Rick James and Super Freak is the music of the moment.

[Mr. C]

Albany returns a high kick to the UA 24 with 1:37 remaining.

[Mr. C]

Saulsbury with the sack of Fiacchi with 1:29 left at the UA 14. Time out No. 2 for the Blue Hens.

[Mr. C]

O'Riordan is 5-of-9 on field goals this year, FYI.

[Mr. C]

[Mr. C]

Screen pass to Osbourne is dropped. 4th down at the 25.

[Mr. C]

Hurley has to keep to the 45 and is forced to burn Delaware's final time out with 41 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

A Hurley pass to Johnson gets the ball to the UA 32 and then Delaware gets a Pierce run to the 23 with 16 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

Hurley runs the ball to the middle of the field and downs the ball, then he passes the ball into the turf to kill the clock with 2 seconds left.

Banner will try kick from 42 yards with a new holder. Albany calls time out.

[Mr. C]

Albany tries to ice Banner with a second time out and the wind starts kicking up after the time out after being still moments before.

[Mr. C]

The kick just sneaks inside the right upright and Banner's field goal lifts Delaware to a 33-30 victory over Albany.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Holy heck!!!! Kick is GOOOOOD!!!!

Man that was close. Kudos to Albany for playing us tougher than anyone expected.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Thanks for the updates Mr. C. Dish Network decided that the game was suddenly blacked out in my market with about 8 minutes left in the 4th.

[TheDHC]

I can't believe we even came close. wow.

[VUCats02]

What a game that was. Great win for Delaware to sneak a way with a win.

[Mr. C]

Thanks for the updates Mr. C. Dish Network decided that the game was suddenly blacked out in my market with about 8 minutes left in the 4th.
That's too bad, because it was a great fourth quarter.
