The Hawks defeated Central Connecticut State 30-20 on Homecoming this past Saturday. Monmouth looked especially good in the game as they appeared in control for the majority of the contest. Central took a 6-0 lead early, but MU responded with 27 unanswered points to take control. Walter Payton Award watch list member, awarded to the best player in FCS, David Sinisi had another stellar day with 194 rushign yards and four touchdowns. With those four scores, Sinisi ties former Wagner back Rick Sarille for the all-time conference lead with 300 points.
From my perspective, the Hawks probably could have scored 50 points in the game with how Sinisi was running. TE John Nalbone had a huge first half and then was pretty quiet, but the game was never in doubt after halftime.
With the stretch run coming and Monmouth down to their final three games for the NEC Championship, including this week's HUGE game at Albany, the blog will turn up the coverage and deliver two updates a week before gameday. I'd like to know your thoughts as well as MU makes a push for the league title.

Well, I'll be the first to leave a comment and an "unofficial" prediction on the MU-Albany game. I think that this game will be close, although I don't keep track of the scouting reports, so going on Monmouth's and Albany's latest scoring in recent games, I think Monmouth will win by 3, 31-28. In order for Monmouth to win the NEC, I think they need to win 2 out of their next 3 games, and Albany needs to lose 2 out of 3.
Thanks for checking in Mike,
I do agree that this game will be a close contest, but I don't see as many points scored. With the changing of the leaves and the cold air setting in, defensive and the running game will take over, two things each team does well. You make some good points, and this paves the way for my prediction later in the week. Thanks again Mike
