Offline Today St. Francis couldn't finish its NEC schedule without a conference blemish by losing to Wagner, 31-24, while the Dukes' set several individual player records in their romp over woeful Central Connecticut State, 52-19. SFU, 7-4 (5-1), and the Dukes, 8-3 (5-1), are the NEC co-champs, but SFU will represent the NEC in the FCS playoffs because of its close victory over the Dukes on October 21, 2016, 14-10. While it would've been great if the Dukes could have made a late game comeback and beaten the Red Flash, I'd rather see SFU's football team go to the FCS playoffs than, say, Robert Morris. Good luck to the Red Flash in their first round game. Last edited by godukes1970 (11/19/2016 10:02 pm) Offline Sorry to see a former Steeler unsuccessful at BoMo. But that program is down. Too bad we couldn't seal the deal vs. St. Franny. Would have liked another fun playoff game like last season. Offline NCAA FCS Playoffs:: 1 of 1
CONGRATULATIONS COACH DRU JOYCE III
Dukes finish season with a big win @ CCS & are NEC Co-champs with SFU
RMU, 2-9 (1-5), had another crappy football record for the third year in a row with John Banaszak at the coaching helm. He was granted only a one-year contract extension by RMU's AD. With a three-year record of 7-16 (26.9%) as Bobby Mo's head football coach, I would imagine that he'll have a hell of a time trying to recruit top notch talent. I wonder what record must he have next season to avoid being fired.

NEC representative, St. Francis, will play Villanova the first round of the FCS playoffs on Jan 26th. The winner will play @ South Dakota State on December 3rd.
The Dukes will open the 2017 football season at South Dakota State (money game for the Dukes). Hopefully the Dukes will be able to win the 2017 NEC title untied and earn a bid to the FCS playoffs.
