UAlbany Never Trails, Beats Long Island University 35-13
Two UAlbany quarterbacks threw touchdown passes in the first quarter. That kind of depth chart makes for a 14-0 lead, and UAlbany never gave any of it back in a 35-13 win over Long Island University.
Aidan Semo opened with a 7-yard pass to Mitchell Viviano at 10:23, and Kai Colon followed with a 3-yarder to Joey Koch at 2:56. Luca Stanzani answered with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Young with 1:36 left in the second quarter, which made it 14-7, and that was as close as LIU got. UAlbany never trailed and the game never tied.
The third quarter is where it got lopsided. Colon hit BJ Norman from 20 yards at 10:23, found Jordan Rae from 33 yards at 2:35, and Semo ran in from 2 yards out at 0:38. Twenty-one points in one quarter, and 14-7 became 35-7. Nathan Gray ran in from 9 yards with 2:28 left in the fourth, the extra point failed, and the score settled at 35-13.
LIU threw for 78 yards (Stanzani was 11 of 19) and ran 39 times for 143, which is a lot of work for 13 points. UAlbany had 344 yards to LIU's 221, and each team lost one fumble and neither threw an interception. UAlbany is 2-0 and LIU is 0-2.
For fantasy, Colon had the day: 25.2 points on three touchdown passes, with Koch at 17.5 and Norman at 16.2.
