Myer leads Bryant to a 31-7 upset of Albany
SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) --- Brennan Myer threw for one touchdown and ran for
another, and Bryant dealt Albany's playoff hopes a blow with a convincing 31-7
win on Saturday.
Building two long drives and taking advantage of two turnovers, the Bulldogs
(6-4, 4-2 Coastal Athletic Association) built a 28-0 lead at the half against
the No. 21 team in the FCS Stats Perform Poll that came in with a four-game
winning streak. Bryant beat a ranked team for the first time since 2014.
The first two touchdown drives covered 65 and 93 yards, ending in short scoring
runs by Kendrick Agenor and Jordan Bennett.
The second-quarter turnovers gave the Bulldogs short fields of 26 and 36 yards.
Myer ran for the first score and hit Shamar Fowles for the second.
Albany only had 108 yards in the first half and finished with 245. Toby Brown
Jr. had three sacks for Bryant. The Bulldogs had 396 yards, 142 on the ground,
against a team that was allowing just 105, 10th best in the nation.
Quarterback Kai Coln had an 8-yard touchdown in the first minute of the fourth
quarter to cap an 80-yard drive for Albany (6-3, 4-2).
Albany was 3 of 11 on third down to 12 of 17 for Bryant.
