Craig D'AmicoHOST
It was a much-needed conference win for the Colonials coming off their setback the week before as they found a way to turn defensive playmaking into separation on the scoreboard.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
For story three, we head to New Britain, Connecticut, where the two-time reigning and defending NEC champion Central Connecticut State Blue Devils dominated their new interstate rival New Haven Chargers 42-20 at a root field to win their fourth straight game.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
The first meeting between these two rivals separated by just 30 miles since 1992.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Now, New Haven briefly kept things competitive in the first quarter, answering Brett Griffiths' three-yard touchdown run with a pair of Liam Quigley field goals to pull within 7-6, but Central Connecticut State took over in the second.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Davon Smith Jr. scored twice on short touchdown runs, including a 7-yarder with just 50 seconds left in the half to send the Blue Devils into the break up 21-6.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Central continued to pull away in the third.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
New Haven finally found the end zone.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
when Jake Triptree, who was starting at quarterback for this game for the Chargers, hit D'Arius Reid for a 15-yard score, but the Chargers' momentum just couldn't last.
Colby DantHOST
That's one of the better games of the week.
Colby DantHOST
We got Robert Morris taking on Central Connecticut State.
Colby DantHOST
This is actually a decent game in the NEC record-wise.
Colby DantHOST
The Real Blue Devils won by 12 last season.
Colby DantHOST
This is on the NEC Front Row app.
Colby DantHOST
How about Central Connecticut State winning four straight, by the way? I am not getting in front of that train.
Colby DantHOST
I am going to lay the eight and a half.
Colby DantHOST
I do not have this as a bet, though, because Bernard Clark and Robert Morris, like you just said, with Buffalo, I do think they're playing better than I anticipated this season.
Sam HerderHOST
They beat Idaho in week zero in a thrilling game, but they've really been up and down.
Sam HerderHOST
They've suffered some bad losses, and so you're really – You don't want to see Montana State play with its food here, you know, have like a sort of performance like against Central Connecticut State where it's like, hey, why is this team not pulling away? So I definitely want to see, you know, just overall defensive improvements by Montana State.
Sam HerderHOST
It's like statistically and like you look at the PFF film grades, like they're not maybe struggling as much as like some of us might think.
Sam HerderHOST
You know, they have the number two overall PFF performance.
Sam HerderGUEST
I just don't know.
Sam HerderGUEST
I feel like there's already been a few other wake-up – if Montana State needed a wake-up call or anything, I feel like the Cats already gotten that a few different times, whether it be the loss or squeaking out a win against Central Connecticut State.
Colter NuanezHOST
Totally.

I kind of thought the Eastern Washington, especially the
Brent VigenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I guess if that's what you're asking, it's just, you know, you lose a good player that does take its toll.
speaker_11UNKNOWN
Coach, it seemed like this Weber State game kind of had a similar feel to the Central Connecticut game and started to go back to week four, but is there anything you learned about your team coming out of that game against the Blue Devils? And is there anything new you learned coming out of the game against Weber State?
Brent VigenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, I think just resiliency is a good quality to have.
Brent VigenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's not something you want to be able to have to go to each and every game.
Jared WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Just got to keep moving forward.
speaker_9UNKNOWN
Does this remind you at all of the Central Connecticut game, kind of how it played out?
Jared WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A little bit, yeah.
Jared WhiteSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, this game, we're really just, like I said, we've been here before.
Colby DantHOST

Colby DantHOST
You look at New Haven's season, they're 2-5 Central Connecticut State, 3-3.
Colby DantHOST
They've kind of been one of the better teams in the NEC of late.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
It's time... for the pick six.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
And we begin in Erie, Pennsylvania, where the two-time reigning and defending NEC champion Central Connecticut State Blue Devils and the Mercyhurst Lakers put on an offensive show at Saxon Stadium.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
These two teams picked up right where they left off in the regular season finale last year when they met in New Britain when it came down to the final play of the game and Mercyhurst came within 10 yards of pulling out an upset and perhaps winning a share of the NEC title.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
This year's game, though, featured big plays, multiple lead changes, and another wild finish.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
to give Mercyhurst an early eight-zip lead.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
A little while later, Rocco Marcantonio added on a 38-yard field goal to put the Lakers up 11-0 with 539 to play in the first quarter.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Central Connecticut State finally answered late in the first quarter, putting together a 10-play, 69-yard drive.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Quarterback Brett Griffiths connected with Ryan Turley for a one-yard touchdown score with just 52 seconds to spare.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
Yeah, if Dayton can knock off Butler, they, they will, uh, it'll be the first loss in conference for Butler, Coach Jackson, and you're really coming down to crunch time for some of these teams because how important a, a loss here and there will, will be.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
We've seen that in, in, uh, the NEC with Central Connecticut and Duquesne last year.
Nathan McCrearyHOST
Uh, your thoughts on this one?
Ron JacksonHOST
You know, two evenly matched teams, Ohio versus Indiana, uh, you know, should be a well-played game.
