SB Nation.com reached out to GreaterPortJeff reporter Nicholas Esposito for a Stony Brook scouting report before Saturday’s opener against Air Force in Colorado.
Writing for Air Force football fans, SB Nation’s DGrasmick looked to Esposito to help inform the Falcons faithful on what to expect as the 2018 season gets underway.
“Just who are these Stony Brook Seawolves?” DGrasmick writes. “Last year’s team finished 10-3 under Head Coach Chuck Priore and lost in the FCS quarterfinals to James Madison. This year, the team is ranked 22nd in the preseason American Football Coaches Association poll and return eight starters on an offense that averaged just under 30 points per game and displayed a balanced attack with 161.2 yards per game rushing and 190 yards per game passing under now senior quarterback Joe Carbone. Carbone threw for 23 touchdowns last season to lead Seawolves to a fantastic season.”
Esposito told SB Nation to expect another solid season.
As for this game, he said, “The triple option is always tough to defend, especially when it is run to perfection like the way Air Force historically runs it.
“With that being said, I believe the SBU will be a good matchup for Air Force since the Seawolves have been known for their fierce, attacking-style defense.”
