Catching up on some past results!
9/13 – LOSS to Albany, 22-16 in OT – Albany has been making good strides with their program, but I feel Hofstra lost this one more than Albany won it.
9/20 – WIN over Rhode Island, 23-20 – Nice to put up a W for homecoming.
9/26 – WIN over Stony Brook, 43-3. Like old times, helps erase the sting of the Albany loss a bit.

Home opener against Albany is this Saturday evening. In their season opener, Albany lost to UMass in a relatively close game and Hofstra was blown out by UConn – not sure what you can extrapolate from those results, obviously very different opponents, but I am expecting a relatively close game.
Hofstra QB Bryan Savage is out for the year with a back injury – he was mysteriously scratched just prior to kick-off against UConn. Taking his place will be Cory Christopher, who should have a better performance against Albany.

The final score of this one was not surprising. Although minus some careless errors and lots of penalties, this one could have been a lot more respectable. It was great to see Hofstra play in a “real” football environment.
Other thoughts:
-Hofstra has updated their helmets for the season – replacing the lions logo with a large H. Looks much better!

Hofstra opens the 2008 season on the road against IA UConn Thursday evening. The game can be seen on SNY at 7:30pm
.
In 1999, UConn lost to Hofstra 56-17. Since then, UConn has advanced to 1-A. Conventional wisdom says that UConn will return the favor from 1999 – hopefully Hofstra can keep the game close for a few quarters!
