LOL - "Our mission remains unchanged: to honor the best play in which a lineman throws, catches, or runs with the ball, because those are things linemen don't usually do. This play can come from any level of college football, from FBS to Division III."

If Foley ever has a scoop and score the celebration will probably result in forfeit.
 
Any one recall if Diaco will have anymore open practices / media friendly practices on the docket ahead of the Maine game? Sure love to read whatever little tidbits they can share from practice.

Top L:R - Mayala, Dixon, Mclean, Coney, Thomas
Bottom L:R - Beals, Lemelle, Skanes, Anthony, Donaldson
Guessing TJ Vernieri is hidden on left.
 
Leave it to the twins to have had 2 of our current captains playing out of position.

Great judges of talent, they were not.
