DURHAM – This one got away.
2021/03/06 11:48 DURHAM, N.H. (AP) Jeff Undercuffler passed for 192 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions and the Albany defense held off New Hampshire in the final 1:07 for a 24-20 win in the season and Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams on Friday night. The Great Danes, ranked No. 13 in the FCS Top 25, took a 21-14 lead in the third quarter on Undercuffler’s 9-yard TD pass to Karl Mofor and extended it to 24-14 on Dylan Burns’ 37-yard field goal early in the fourth. The Wildcats cut the deficit to 24-20 on Max Brosmer’s 18-yard touchdown pass to Sean Coyne with 6:48 left.

The James Madison Dukes are the class of the CAA college football conference and FCS elites. The Dukes have won the CAA title and played in the FCS championship game in three of the last four seasons, including a title in 2016.
However, the New Hampshire Wildcats and the Albany Great Danes would like to have a word. The Wildcats and Great Danes should both be in the mix for the CAA North Division Crown, so it’s no surprise the line for this matchup is so tight.
