It’s hard to believe, but we’ve only got a handful of weeks left in the college football season. While the ‘Big Three’ locally is more like the ‘Big One’ right now, three other FCS teams are positioned nicely for the playoffs with a few others on the hunt. Here’s how Week 9 is shaping up: Friday 10/24 Columbia @ Dartmouth (6:00) Sitting at 4-1 and 1-1 in the Ivy League……
Image courtesy of the CAA It was another strong weekend for the local CAA teams. No. 13-ranked URI (6-2, 4-0) and UNH (4-4, 2-2) both got big conference wins while Maine (3-4, 2-1 and winners of three straight) and Bryant (2-5, 0-3) each had a bye week. As the CAA race heats up, the Rams host in-state rival Bryant on Saturday, UNH hosts William & Mary and Maine hosts Elon….
Image courtesy of Dexter Southfield Football By Tyler Amaral NEFJ Staff There are two weeks left in the regular season in Massachusetts. While there may not be any top five battles this week, there are four ranked vs. ranked matchups on tap. In other New England states, this week will be one for teams to prove whether they are the team to beat in their respective states. With plenty of…
It took a while, but Holy Cross earned its first victory of the year this past weekend. The Crusaders took down new Patriot League foe Richmond on the road with a true team effort, getting contributions in all three phases. Now, despite being 1-6, Dan Curran’s team is 1-1 in the league with an outside chance of keeping the dream alive for a share of a seventh straight league title….
Image courtesy of UConn Athletics A lot of great performances this past weekend as the playoff push for some teams begins. Joe Fagnano (23-31, 362 yards and 4 touchdowns) led the Huskies to a huge win over BC Saturday. Skyler Bell (10/125/1 TD) and Javonte Vereen (4/82/2 TDs) also had monster games as UConn finds itself one win away from another bowl bid. DUDES! Greg Gaines III was almost problem…
There’s a little bit of shifting going on this week after some surprising results over the weekend. We’ve currently got four teams that could realistically be playing more football after the final weekend in November. Here’s how the D1 New England college landscape looks to us heading into Week 8 of the season: 1. Harvard (5-0) – Ranked 17th in the AFCA Coaches Poll and the offense is nearly unstoppable…
Image courtesy of The Salem News St. John’s Prep head coach Brian St. Pierre was stressed out about missing a practice this past weekend. St. Pierre hadn’t missed one as the head coach of the program for 11 years now and never missed one as a player at BC or in the NFL, but he just couldn’t get out of this pesky little commitment… That ‘commitment’ was enjoying a weekend…
FOXBOROUGH – A few weeks ago, there was quite a bit of talk about bad the Patriots had been at home in recent years. Then, New England hammered Carolina, went on the road for three weeks, won three straight and everyone believes they can now seriously compete in the AFC. But, New England is still 1-2 at Gillette Stadium this year. The Pats have just five wins at home over…
By Rob Gullo and Andy Close NEFJ Correspondents Many teams were on their byes this past weekend in the state of Connecticut for high school football, with not much movement in this week’s Top 25 poll. However, there was some action which saw a bit of a shakeup in the rankings. Here’s our latest poll: 1. New Canaan (5-0) – New Canaan is returning from its bye and hosts No….
