    Fun team to watch. I'm sure they mentioned this on the broadcast but their qb was runner-up to McCoy last year for the Jerry Rice Award. They're really leaving it all on the field. I know it's the playoffs and everyone is hurt, but their freshman rb is hobbling after nearly every rush. Seems the leading receiver is battling, too.

    They seemed to channel their inner Nebraska last year. 1-5 in one score games.

    forgot to mention the punter on that one return. Dude shed a block and then pushed the returner out of bounds which was impressive
    He was gimpy afterward too

    ESPN commented on it too.

    I watched some of the replay of the Villanova game, and they indicated Jacks' crew was Big Sky.

    Their coach in the ESPN interview said they'd be getting up early and flying to South Dakota. Someone on their message board/AGS who "trusts their source" said the same thing. "I was just told that this is indeed the case due to the start time of 7pm Friday. They would not get back to Albany until 9-10 EST Sunday...then would have to fly out Wed morning. Wouldn't get more than a single practice in."

    Jacks should have an easier time than against Villanova. Albany won't be in their beds until tomorrow night and have to fly back across the country on Thursday. Wear and tear is real, '21 Jacks are the epitome of that. Play disciplined and wear them down, run right at that pass rush.

    Neither that impressive so far. Play sound and disciplined defense, will be fine.

    Could argue that either QB would be the best Jacks have faced this year.

    I was going to post that Jacks will need to exercise restraint regardless of who wins this game, although maybe Albany's behavior has been largely in response to Vandals'

    Either opponent will be making their first trip to Brookings, with the Jacks having played Idaho (once in 1979 and winning) and never having played Albany.
