Typo in story and CCSU preview
Please note..this was e-mailed in by a reader that - There is a typo in the “Hawks hoping for shot at postseason” article which ran Thursday.. Under Scenario No.1, RMU is listed as ranked 122 instead of the correct 222.
Also..in case you are unware this game is on FSNY..
CCSU scouting report from MU game notes from Greg (I hate Matt Bryant) Viscomi and from yours (one of the worst Philadelphgia Eagle regular season losses I have endured since I became a fan in the late 50's) truly....
Senior Justice Hairston, who transferred this season from Rutgers, is the nation’s leader in rushing yards with 1,398 yards. Marist and Albany have been the only two teams to keep him under 100 yards rushing, BUT Monmouth has the NEC’s best rushing defense, holding opponents to 96 yards rushing per game.
More Justise from the Hartford Courant: Hairston leads Division I-AA in average rushing yards a game (174.8) and average all-purpose yards (216.5). He's atop the Central record book in rushing yards (332) and carries (49) in a game.
Also: Central’s 299 total offensive yards is 12th in the country, with Ryan Holmes taking the majority of snaps under center. Holmes has 688 yards on 36-of-59 passing with four touchdowns. Last week, Holmes was a perfect 10-for-10 with 179 yards in Centrals win over Wagner. Four Blue Devil receivers average over 15 yards per reception, led by Nicholas Colagiovonni, who has 10 receptions for 196 yards.
My comment: CCSU is 3-2 since Holmes took over for injured and shiftier QB Aubrey Norris. He runs the ball about 10 times per game. They mainly throw off play action but MU has to be aware of flea-flickers etc. and maybe a halfback option..MU has been burnned on this several times this year including last week's RMU flea-flicker
Defense: Central is fifth in the Northeast conference in scoring defense, allowing 15.9 points per game. The Blue Devils’ have given up an average of 127 rushing yards per game, which is also fifth in the eight-team conference.
Central owns a +6 turnover margin, which ties Monmouth for second in the NEC behind Stony Brook.
NOTE THIS: Special Teams: Freshman Ryan Heeney has struggled in 2006, hitting just three-of-eight field goals this season. Senior Chris Rose handles the punting duties for the Blue Devils, averaging 34.1 yards on a league-low 26 attempts. Hairston handles the punt return duties, averaging 9.2 yards per return. Hairston
also returns kickoffs with a 22.4 average on seven attempts. Despite rushing the ball 83% of the time, CCSU is fifth in the NEC in T.O.P., controlling the ball 29:16 through eight games.
My comment: MUY should have the advantage here but has had a few FGs and PATS blocked this season. More than one is not good.
Interesting facts: With his TD against in the fourth quarter against RMU, Dave Sinisi extended his scoring streak to eight games, every game that MU has played this season. It will not be easy for the redshirt freshman as Hawk running backs have not scored a rushing touchdown against Central Connecticut since the 2001 season. Former Monmouth running back Chris Reed owns the school record for most consecutive games with a touchdown with nine. David Jiles needs one pick for a career school record 12th.
Miles who? ..MU receiver Adam San Miguel needs six catches to set the Hawk single-season mark at 61 .....I am just kidding folks (about Miles).
THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT THIS WEEK: Monmouth’s offense has been controlling the ball and the tempo of the game to the tune of 33:21 per contest this season, which is fifth in all of Division I-AA. Not one of MU’s eight opponents have led in time of possession in 2006.
This N' That: MU’s 16 points last week marked the first time all season that Monmouth has not scored at least 17 in a game. IT WOULD have scored more but a successful PAT attempt was negated after a holding
call. The ensuing kick, this time from 10 yards further, was blocked.• Junior cornerback Ayo Falae had a career-high eight tackles in the game, including six solo stops....• Brian Boland needs just 24 passing
yards to become the NEC’s third quarterback to record 7,000 career passing yards. •
