Looking to turn the tide from a disappointing 2019 season, the Stony Brook football team returned to the turf on Saturday, March 6 for the 2021 spring season opener at home against the No. 5 Villanova Wildcats. Late miscues sunk Stony Brook in a 16-13 defeat, but the offense struggled to find its footing throughout the game and did not convert a single third down.
“We certainly lost the game that way, because in the first half, [Villanova] was 7-for-10 [on third downs],” head coach Chuck Priore said in a postgame press conference. “We’ve got to go back and look at our ability to make those plays.”
