Albany spoils Sauk's homecoming 41-7

Patrick Knoblauch is wrapped up by an Albany player as he looks down field for an open receiver.

The Mainstreeters had hopes of shutting down Albany's running game Friday night. In fact, if they did that they figured they had a chance to beat the Huskies.

Sauk did an admirable job containing the run, for the most part, but got burned on a couple long passing plays that led to Albany scores in a 41-7 loss.

Meanwhile the Streeters had trouble moving the ball in the first half thanks to several dropped passes. They trailed 14-0 at half and then 21-0 early in the third when Michael Knoblauch finally got them on the board with a 1-yard TD run. Josh Buschette nailed the extra point.

Knoblauch's touchdown was set up by a long passing play when Patrick Knoblauch hooked up with Terrence Ellis.

Roosevelt Austin is upended by an Albany player in Friday's 41-7 loss.

But Albany QB Tony Harlander threw a 27-yard TD pass and then ran one in a yard out for a 35-7 lead to seal the win.

Albany scored again late for the 41-7 victory.
