Week 5 Football Preview

MADISON, N.J. (September 28, 2018) - The FDU-Florham football team looks to avenge its first loss of the season when they travel to take on Albright College Saturday afternoon.

GAME INFO
Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Gene L. Shirk Stadium in Reading, Pa.

LAST TIME OUT
FDU was knocked off by Lycoming 27-21 last Saturday, dropping the Devils to 3-1 on the season. The team had been looking to go to 4-0 for the first time since 1987.

ALBRIGHT REPORT
The Lions are 0-4 for the first time since 1992, but have faced a tough schedule so far. They battled Salisbury, who is receiving votes in the national poll, in the season opener and also took on No. 2 Mary Hardin-Baylor in week two. Jimmy Lahay has thrown for 540 yards this season to lead Albright.

LAST MEETING
In a shootout at Robert T. Shields Field, the Devils fell to Lions 51-33 last season. Playing without the injured Jagger Green, senior Mike Panzarino had a hand in all five Devils touchdowns. He threw for three, ran for one and and also hauled in a receiving touchdown.

PICKED OFF!
Junior Javanughn Wright and freshman Matthew Dougherty each recorded their first career interceptions in Saturday's setback. Dougherty also recorded four tackles and a half sack.

MAKER OF RAIN
Junior Josh Rainey involved himself in the offense, recording a pair of touchdowns. Both scores came on a little trickery by the Devils offense. Panzarino made a catch and just as he was getting tackled, flipped the ball to Rainey who scampered 80 yards for the score. Later on in the game, Rainey took a pitch from Green and hit Damarquis Price in stride for a 55 yard touchdown.

BIG STOP
With the Devils trailing by six and Lycoming pinned back deep in there own territory, senior Isaiah Turner was a catalyst in helping getting the ball back. Turner had a hand in all three tackles during a three-and-out to help FDU get the ball one final time.

THE BIG GREEN
Green recorded a season-high 377 yards passing, tossing two touchdowns against Lycoming. Through four games this season, the senior has thrown for 14 scores against just five interceptions.
