I’m not running to the window to back either of these losing teams that are getting their boots smoked nightly. With that said, the Albany Great Danes have been better in their losses. The LIU Sharks are losing on the year by an average of 18 points, and they’re losing their last 5 games by an average of 27 points. There are levels of bad, and it doesn’t get much worse than LIU. It’s Albany or pass.
