ALBANY After two games, Elijah Gash already has more carries than his father had in 1999, when Sam Gash became the first back in NFL history to make the Pro Bowl without taking a single handoff.
Elijah got the ball last week, ran two-thirds of the length of the field and took it to the house for the UAlbany Great Danes.
Not the football team, the men’s lacrosse team. Oh, and Elijah plays long-pole defense.

ALBANY The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team gets a turbo boost on offense this weekend.
The defense, meanwhile, has already hit its stride, based on how the back line performed in a 15-9 victory over Colgate at Fallon Field last Saturday.
The Great Danes returned 11 players to the lineup this week after they had missed the season opener because of COVID-19 protocols, among them Tehoka Nanticoke and Graydon Hogg.
So when UAlbany plays Hartford Saturday on the road at noon, the Hawks face a daunting challenge stopping a starting attack that includes Nanticoke, Jakob Patterson and freshman Camden Hay.
