Sitting in a lightning and thunderstorm delay at Marist in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. as the Red Foxes trail Sacred Heart 16-0 with 3:29 left in the first half in the second game of my doubleheader. It was 10 years ago this weekend that I sat through my first and only other football weather delay at the 7,200-elevation stadium in Wyoming. Wyoming beat Appalachian State that day in a game that took about five hours to play.

The teams have just resumed play and Marist has driven down to the Sacred Heart 20 with a first down.

After an offsides penalty, Marist misfired on a pass to the end zone on 1st and 5.

Chuckie Looney hit Matt Tralli on a hitch to the one and Marist fumbled but retained the ball. Atiq Lucas smashed in a play later for the TD with 52 seconds left in the half.

Sacred Heart 16, Marist 7

Sacred Heart had dominated the first 20 minutes of the game before Marist finally got the offense going.

Mr. C

Expect Sacred Heart to run a quick play and go to halftime. Because of the weather delay, there will be a five-minute halftime and the third period will resume.

Marist got the ball first in the second half and has passed for a pair of first downs to the Red Fox 45.

Mr. C

Looney is getting good time to throw and is finding receivers open in the middle of the zone.

I love that Marist stadium. Nice setting in which to play.

On fourth down and one an overflow Marist crowd doesn't like punting at fourth and one at the Sacred Heart 46.

Had heard that was the case and the stadium on the banks of the river has lived up to its review. Pretty campus, too.

Three and out for Sacred Heart at the 19 as Marist is getting pressure on the QB, RJ Noel. Marist ball at its own 43 after the punt.

Defensive holding away from the ball as Marist misses on a 1st-down pass. 1st down at the Sacred Heart 47.

Mr. C

A 26-yard pass play to the Sacred Heart 21 is wiped out for Marist on offensive holding.

Mr. C
August 31st, 2013, 07:37 PM
Sacred Heart holds and forces a punt with 9:50 left in the third period.

Mr. C

After a quick first down got the ball to the Marist 48, the Pioneers were stopped at the 41 and will punt.

Illegal procedure moves it back five more yards.

Mr. C

The punt goes out of bounds at the Marist 2 midway through the third period.

Mr. C

On the next play, Wale Onakoya fumbles for Marist and Sacred Heart recovers at the 1.

Marist is playing poorly. Fumbles on the 2. SH TD.

22 - 6.

Spence pounds in for the score to make it Sacred Heart 23, Marist 7 with 6:47 left in the third period.

Marist is playing poorly. Fumbles on the 2. SH TD.

22 - 6.

Marist had actually been playing better until the fumble after a rough start. Looney has been hitting some passes, but he is going to have to pass even more with a 16-point deficit and a quarter and a half remaining.

They played well for about 5 minutes. But SHU 10 points off 2 turnovers. Tons of penalties. Horrible.

Sacred Heart looks committed to running the ball now with four minutes left in the third quarter. The Pioneers have pushed the ball to the Marist 46 after a Red Fox penalty.

Mr. C

Perfect strike on a 46-yard post from Noel and it is Sacred Heart 30, Marist 7 with 3:40 left in the third period.

Mr. C

The fumble near the goal line seemed to take a lot out of the Red Foxes and now it is all falling apart for Marist.

Mr. C
August 31st, 2013, 08:17 PM
After a Sacred Heart interception, the Pioneers score again to make it 37-7 with 10:07 remaining in the fourth period.

Mr. C

Marist's Eeon Cummings returns the kickoff to the Sacred Heart 7, racing up the middle of the field and barely stepping out as he tried to get past the last tackler.

Mr. C
August 31st, 2013, 08:22 PM
A fade route from Looney to Armani Martin from 4 yards out for Marist makes it 37-14, Sacred Heart with 8:32 remaining. It was a career-record TD pass for Looney.

Mr. C
August 31st, 2013, 08:32 PM
A series of completions, including another from Looney to Martin pushes Marist to the one. But after a official discussion, it is ruled a TD.

Sacred Heart 37, Marist 21 with six minutes left.

Mr. C
August 31st, 2013, 08:40 PM
A fumble by Sacred Heart gives Marist the ball back at the Marist 20, but the officials rule the ball carrier. Quick whistle there.

Sloppy 4th quarter for SHU but a convincing win! New look offense and QB moved the ball all night, defense was great until late when playing prevent and let some penalties happen. Lots of excitement in the program right now, let's carry over to next week.
