Hofstra Game articles


The Boston Herald looks at the UMass-Hofstra game.

From the Hofstra side Newsday has an article here . The Hofstra Chronicle (student newspaper) has two articles here and here .

Hofstra finally has their game notes up here (pdf download).

The Sports Network has published its Eddie Robinson Award candidate (Award for top coach in FCS) list for 2007. It's here .

Two things wrong with the list:
  1. Coach Brown (21-2 against FCS competition the last two years) is not on it.
  2. The following quote from the article--"Dave Cohen, Hofstra-In just his second year as a head coach, Cohen overseen one of the biggest improvements in the country this season, as the Pride has gone from 2-9 last year to 7-3 in 2007. The Pride will likely earn an NCAA playoff berth with a win over Massachusetts on Saturday in their final regular season game. Cohen served as the defensive coordinator at Delaware before coming a head coach and helped the Hens win the 2003 national championship. His Delaware defense allowed only 23 points a game in four playoff games that year and shut out colgate in the title game.
Bruce Dowd has his weekly CAA column here . As usual, he can't resist talking a lot about Delaware and not so much about UMass.
