UNH 55 URI 42 - WOW!

Post by COBBLESTONE »

I've got to say that I'm proud of our offense and their performance. Congrats to Shawn Leonard (dude has great leaping ability) 275 yards receiving just might be a Rhody record. CP Etienne is certainly back at 100% as he threw for 400+ yards. Anthony Ferrer has some nice carries on the ground and on a couple of plays carried a few UNH defenders on his back. Here again, I'm proud of our offense. A few UNH fans sitting near me were biting their nails as we had the lead for a while and kept coming back again and again.

On defense we obviously didn't get the job done. Toman is a fine QB and had a good game but he didn't go as crazy on us as I thought he would. The guy who really broke our backs for the UNH offense was Kackert, his long runs killed us.

All in all it was a good day. We gave UNH all they could handle and many UNH fans after the game commented to me on how much closer the game was than they thought it would be. They also couldn't believe that we only have one win. Hopefully that'll change next week.

Best wishes to UNH for the remainder of the season. I hope you guys can go 10-1 and get a home playoff game.

Saw that WR name come up on ESPN last night while it was scrolling the top receiving performances of the day. HUGE day for that kid.

Watched the game on Dish. UNH offense really moved the ball but if Rhody could have come up with more stops UNH would have been mentioned in the same breadth as Montana.....letting a team that they should have beaten by more hang around.

More importantly, how was the brewery?

Funny you should ask...

On the way up to the game I drove by the Red Hook Brewery. After the game I decided to flip a coin, heads for Portsmouth Brewery, tails for Red Hook...it came up tails. I have zero regrets that it didn't come up heads. The beer was tremendous and the cheeseburger I had must have been a 1/2 pound of beef.

Now please go 10-1 so you can get a home playoff game, I can attend it and visit the Portsmouth Brewery on my way home.

Did you spare any deer in the Great North Woods? :lol:
