Stony Brook @ Army, Noon: Army (0-3) arguably has the country's worst defense (44 ppg), but the best rushing offense (399 ppg). Stony Brook (3-1) has one of the best rushing offenses in the FCS. Something's got to give, right? If Stony Brook can establish its running game and have some success with its downfield passing game, the Seawolves will get its first win against a FBS team. For that to happen,...

Stony Brook’s nail-biting comeback for a 32-31 victory over Colgate Saturday night in front of a record LaValle Stadium crowd of 10,278 was chock full of big plays by both sides as the Seawolves took a 17-point lead, fell behind by 28-20 and then fashioned a fourth-quarter comeback for the win.

It was the kind of pulsating game that left both sides exhausted and limp even as Stony Brook’s...

No.10 Clemson @ No. 4 Florida State, 8:00 p.m.: It’s a matchup of the two best teams in the ACC (apologies to Virginia Tech). If Florida State is to prove it has a chance to contend with Alabama and LSU, it has to stop Clemson’s dynamic duo of WR Sammy Watkins and QB Tajh Boyd.
