No surprises here. Excited for the offseason

[Deuce2223]

Good old Kenny Irons. Dude was a stud as a Junior for the Tigers and probably was what got him drafted. But sadly going to the Bungles isn't a great landing spot for most people. Joe Burrows is feeling the pain right now.

Yeah, it's going to be a rough season; I just want to get through it! The only game I'm looking forward to is Harvard! At least we'll be better next year. We literally can't be any worse considering walk-ons are better than a lot of the guys on my roster this year! Even if I strike out in recruiting, we'll come out better!

Yeah, he was great in college! Auburn had some good years with him! 2005-2007 were my glory years of college football when I was younger and WVU was really good! The Bengals can be rough; sucks for Burrow!!

Jackson Runs for 307 Yards, 2 TDs as Vandy Beats Yale 44-17 for First Win of Season

NASVHILLE, TN - Cassen Jackson ran for 307 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries to power the Vanderbilt Commodores (1-4) to their first win of the season this evening against the Yale Bulldogs (0-5). The Commodores jumped all over Yale right from the start and cruised in the second half to claim a dominating 44-17 victory, leaving the Bulldogs still winless on the year at 0-5.

The Commodores didn't have much success in the passing game (92 passing yards), but they didn't need to with their dominant rushing attack.

Despite the blowout, Yale amassed season-high in offensive yards (264) and points (17). The Bulldogs had particular success in the passing game, where quarterback Jeff McNamara threw for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. His completion percentage (41%) left some to be desired, but Yale got a lot of big plays tonight. Tight end Lance Pressley had a nice game with 72 yards receiving and three catches. Wide receiver Tyson Brewer had a career-best game with 149 yards receiving and a touchdown along with nine catches.

Next week Yale hosts Kent State.

Kent State Rolls Over Yale 58-7

NEW HAVEN, CT - Yale (0-6) looked helpless this afternoon as they turned in a season-worst performance with Kent State (4-2) thrashing the home team 58-7.

Kent State got off to a slow start, leading just 3-0 after a quarter of play, but the Golden Flashes scored four touchdowns in the second quarter to take a commanding 31-0 halftime lead. Kent State would put up 55 unanswered points before Yale finally got on the board against Kent State's second-team defense in the fourth quarter.

Kent State totaled 575 yards of offense, including 404 through the air. Junior quarterback Kyle Castorani passed for 394 yards and five touchdowns and ran for a sixth on the ground. Troy Howard caught six balls for 145 yards and a touchdown. Craig Jackson (3 Rec, 73 Yds, TD), Matt Cooper (4 Rec, 34 Yds, TD), Brian Goodwin (2 Rec, 34 Yds, TD), and Tom Walker (2 Rec, 18 Yds, TD) all caught touchdown passes from Castorani as he picked apart the helpless Yale secondary.

Devin Williams also did good work on the ground for Kent State, rushing for 151 yards and a touchdown on only 16 carries, 9.4 yards per carry.

Jeff McNamara threw for 229 yards for Yale, but he failed to find the end zone and threw two interceptions. Tight end Lance Pressley had another strong performance, though, with 108 yards and seven catches. Tyson Brewer also had another nice game after erupted for a career-high 149 yards last week as he caught seven balls for 68 yards today. Running back Thomas Moore also found the end zone for the first time this season, though he rushed for just 19 yards on 11 attempts.

Yale will travel to upstate South Carolina next Saturday to take on Clemson.
