Week 2 Wrap-up

For the second straight week, my predicted score differential was spot on, but again I picked the wrong team. Maine defeated Monmouth 21-17 on a deflected touchdown pass on a 4th and 21 late in the fourth quarter. While the Hawks did an excellent job on tailback Jhamal Fluellen, defensive end Javon Belcher had a big game for Maine.

MU running back David Sinisi did become the program's all-time leading rusher in the game, eclipsing Chris Reed's previous record. This week, Monmouth takes on Coastal Carolina, who lost to Penn State (66-10) and Colgate (23-19) this season.

I will have my complete scouting report for the Chanticleers (which is, according the CCU media guide, a rooster who rules the barn with cunning and wit) up on Friday along with my prediction.
