TweetAs the Patriot League football season enters its second half, the stakes continue to rise. The most compelling league game this weekend is Lehigh at Fordham. Both teams are seeking 2-0 starts in PL play after each experienced a shaky September. Georgetown will look to put last week’s final second loss to the Rams in rear view mirror when they...

Big Sky Quad Shot: Week 7

October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 Brad Reed

TweetOne of the Big Sky heavyweights took a knock out this weekend and took a tumble down the polls as a result. In one of the bigger FCS upsets this weekend Sacramento State walked into Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman and handed the Cats their second loss of the season, and did it somewhat handily.

October 11, 2019October 11, 2019 Kevin Hottle

TweetAs the fall nights continue to get colder in the Northeast, the Patriot League football race is really starting to heat up. There’s no question the league had a horrible September and lacks a natioonally relevant team but now that conference season is here it’s all about a single goal, win it and get to the playoffs. The Fordham (0-0)-Georgetown... Read More

Big Sky Quad Shot: Week 6

October 7, 2019 Brad Reed

TweetNovember is shaping up to be a big month in the Big Sky Conference. League leader Weber State will face off with Montana, and a week later the Griz will face Montana State.

TweetWeek 7 of the Patriot League football season sees conference battles commence. Colgate’s title defense begins against nemesis Lehigh in Hamilton and Holy Cross makes the long bus ride to Central Pennsylvania to battle Bucknell.

Big Sky Quad Shot: Week 5

TweetBig Sky week five is in the books and conference play has started! A few games this week were certainly eye openers for a couple teams, possibly in a good way or bad way.

Patriot League: Week 6 Preview

September 27, 2019 Kevin Hottle

TweetFor the second time in this still young 2019 season the Patriot League posted a dreaded “O’fer” weekend. After last Saturday’s 0-4 performance the Patriot League now stands at an atrocious 4-20 overall record. What makes last week’s “O’fer” even more disheartening is the fact that all four losses were by double digits. Colgate and Holy Cross fought hard but... Read More

Big Sky Quad Shot: Week 4

September 23, 2019 Brad Reed

TweetWe’re through the non-conference part of the Big Sky Conference football season. Can’t come soon enough, time to start the race towards the playoffs and the auto-bids. There’s a horse race at the top of the Big Sky and everyone’s still got a chance to snag that auto-bid. Except Northern Colorado. They do not have a chance. This week saw... Read More

Patriot League: Week 5 Preview

September 20, 2019September 20, 2019 Kevin Hottle

TweetAs week 5 commences, the Patriot League will try to improve upon its dismal 4-16 overall record. The league struggled mightily in 2017 and 2018 but this year things have somehow managed to get worse. Given this week’s tough slate of games the Patriot League could be facing their second winless Saturday of the season. The best news this week... Read More
