The game was as advertised: Fordham’s offense was overwhelming, and Stony Brook’s offense was significantly behind the curve. Dropped passes, missed tackles and poor situational play continued to be an Achilles’ heel for the Seawolves.

The Stony Brook football team currently stands alone at the bottom of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) following a 24-14 defeat at New Hampshire last Saturday. They will take on No. 17/22 Fordham in hopes of ending their drought. 

Coming off a loss to then-No. 4 Oregon, facing a winless Fordham team from the weaker Patriot League should have been a nice tune-up before diving into the heart of conference play. Instead, the Seawolves were stunned and lost.

Facing a winless Fordham Rams team at home and coming off a strong first-half performance last week at No. 3 Oregon, Stony Brook was embarrassed 31-14 by Fordham on Saturday, Sept. 25 at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium.

Stony Brook will face off against the Fordham Rams on Sept. 25. Despite Fordham’s winless record, the Seawolves should not expect a cakewalk this Saturday.

From the opening kickoff to the final whistle, the Stony Brook University football team was in the control of the game on Saturday, Sept. 21 versus the Fordham University Rams.
