This certainly feels like a new era for the Stony Brook football program, and the wins are ensuring that everyone knows this is a new team.
After winning just two games over the course of the past two seasons, the Seawolves have matched that mark in game two this year. Stony Brook traveled to Fordham to take on the Rams and came away with a hard fought 27-21 victory.
The Seawolves are on fire right now and are garnering national attention. With the Wolves down 14-10 late in the 2nd quarter receiver Dez Williams made a spectacular one handed grab over the middle of the field. That catch was so eye-popping that ESPN put it among it's plays of the day.
Williams wasn't the only star though as Rudy Silvera had a clutch interception and returned it for nearly 40 yards. The offense was humming all day amassing over 400 yards of total offense. The dual threat backfield of Ronald Dempster and Brandon Boria combined for 116 yards on the ground while through the air the Wolves passed for over 300 yards.
Stony Brook tries to keep the new energy rolling next week on the road against Campbell.
