A 3-0 start for the Hawks?
The way is open now for MU to start 3-0. Hawks certainly have a decent shot at defeating Morgan State at home Saturday and should handle St. Peter's in two weeks. Then it's on to defending Patriot League champ Colgate which dropped its opener to UMass, 28-7.
This from the Fordham web site:
“When you get behind as much as we did as early as we did on a night like tonight, it’s almost impossible to get back in the game,” said Fordham head coach Tom Masella, who was making his debut on the Rams’ sideline. “But I have to give credit to my players who never gave up. They kept fighting until the end. That’s part of growing up.”
When the game started I was like.." I can't believe they're playing this game." Then when it was 20-0 I amended that to.."OK, play it"!!
Have not yet been able to get a hold of MU coach Callahan today but here are his comments on Miles Austin making the Cowboys roster from the MU web site..“First I’d like to say that we are all really excited and happy for Miles,” said Callahan. “Play in the NFL is a great opportunity for him and he has worked hard to get where he is.”“Having a player come through the program and make it to the NFL say s a great deal about how far Monmouth football has come since 1993,” said Callahan. “Miles was one of the guys who helped our program to a new level and he was a great player and a great guy to coach.”
It was a solid weekend for the NEC vs. the Patriot League headlined by Albany's 17-16 win over Lehigh..picked third in the PL .
Also, Sacred Heart took a 14-13 lead into the break against PL member Lafayette and outgained the Leopards, but dropped a 25-14 decision in Fairfield. Lafayette comes to MU in, I beleive, 2008.
Dayton of the Pioneer League, - ranked #2 in the Sports Network Preseason Mid-Major poll - needed a late touchdown to put away Robert Morris, 21-14. The Pioneer League champion will play the NEC champ in the Nov. 18 Gridiron Classic.

Mid-Major Team of the Week: Northeast Conference
Albany made the biggest noise by defeating Lehigh, but the entire Northeast Conference showed what a difference some scholarships can make. The league’s impressive first weekend included a Monmouth win over Fordham (by a 23-9 score), blowout victories for St. Francis (PA), Central Connecticut State and Wagner against MAAC teams, and competitive losses by Stony Brook, Sacred Heart and Robert Morris against seemingly superior opponents. The conference has signed on to play in the Gridiron Classic against the Pioneer Football League champion for the next two seasons, but a few more weekends like this one could have a few teams seriously considering upgrading the schedules and scholarships to make a legitimate run for a playoff berth.
