Gird up thy loins. They're calling this one the Undercuffler Kerfuffle Scuffle of 2019.

These guys give up 144 yards rushing per game and just surrendered 199 at home to CCST.

I legitimately believe that cats will break 400 yards on the ground.

They’re guys were pretty cocky out there today. I predict they won’t be this time next Saturday.

I think that Albany is a really quality opponent. We will have to play a great game to win. All opponents from here on out are great football teams.

Disagree. There's no apples to apples comparison because of conference, but I would guess that Albany is maybe the 6th best FCS opponent that MSU has had to play. They're going to get wrecked.

1,660 reported attendance for their home game today. I have to believe our crowd will have an impact as well

Without sounding like an arrogant ass, what did you see to make you think they’re so good? I honestly didn’t see it.

Obviously we have to secure the win, but if it's there, I think we need to use this opportunity to get Tucker Rovig dialed in. I'm for, dare I say, throwing for more than 200 yards! I think Travis Jonsen will have a big day, both in the +1 running game, and also catching the ball. Hopefully we can keep Troy on the shelf and use Ifanse and Jones lightly. Lane Sumner will have huge day as well.

It's being reported that Albany qb Jeff Undercuffler has set a FCS season record (39) for touchdown passes by a freshman.

I can't even get to the security question. They won't even allow my gmail address. It's not important enough for me to sign in to create a new one or figure out which of my addresses they will permit.

Their QB looked pretty solid once he settled in.
I think the Cats pass rushers and crowd noise will be something he isn’t used to though, so I don’t see him sitting back and getting into a rhythm like that next week. I would hope our DB’s will do a substantially better job sticking with their receivers too.

They are absolutely a solid team, but there wasn’t anything that really jumped out to me about them either.
I don’t think this is going to be a 48-7 type game for Cats. But if they play like they should and how they have been the last month, this game shouldn’t ever be in question.

I could definitely see them giving Troy another week off. That would be four weeks from the UCD game.

You weren't impressed at all by their QB or the WR hauling in those great TD catches? Sure, the QB looked bad in the first quarter but once the settled down, he looked great I thought.

The CATS have three times that at their tailgates.

Also - CCU has a very good offense, and Albany shut them down after getting roasted a bit early on.

Its hard to compare I guess but unlike others here I think Albany will be a real test for the Cats.

Looking at some of #18's stats, just kidding, Undercuffler's stats he's absolutely not a dual threat quarterback. He played in 4 games and redshirted last year. This year his rushing numbers are usually <0 per game. He has started every game this year (13) so with last year's 4 games this will be his 18th start. He's obviously past the freshman jitters stage.
This guy looks like he has a future.

Are you sure about that? I know they scored a lot of points this season, but that NE Confence is pretty pitiful.
