-          Mission: accomplished. We beat a team we should dominate 50-7. We outgained them 586--167. We had 34 first downs to 8. We held them to 1 of 15 third down conversions. That’s the way it was supposed to be – and it was.

-          Eric Dungey looked every bit the star quarterback. He put up great numbers: 28/36 for 328 yards and 3TDs with no interceptions. 9 runs for 51 yards and 2 more scores. That’s 379 yards and 5TDs accounted for. But more impressive than the numbers was the way he ran the offense: slick and fast. High efficiency. He methodically picked the Blue Devils apart. Even his sideline passes, which concern me sometimes, had plenty  of zip.

-          11 different players caught 37 passes. Steve Ismael, reclaiming his spot as our #1 receiver, had 12 catches for 134 yards. Unfortunately he didn’t score, (he dropped a likely TD pass because he was anticipating contact). Erv Phillips added 6 catches for 71 yards and a score. But that was less than half the catches. We spread it out and played a lot of people.

-          Moe Neal had the play of the day, leaping to catch and over-thrown pass, making a man miss, outrunning several defenders to the goal line where he was finally caught from the side but dived into the end zone a 52 yard play.

-          Jamal Custis finally got a chance to show what he could, (and couldn’t), do. One thing he could do was to break away from a defender who appeared to be holding him and make a one-handed catch to set up the first touchdown.

-          Markenzy Pierre had plenty of get-up-and-go with 46 yards in 8 carries, even if it was against Central Connecticut State reserves. We need to see more of him as the season progresses. He has a strong burst when he this the hole and he’s strong enough to carry guys with him.

-          The defense held CCS to 54 yards rushing on 30 carries. Jake Dolegala completed only 6 of 19 passes. The Blue Devils punted a dozen times, SU only 3.

1-0 with 11+ to go

LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
