Kickoff Stony Brook will be looking to both break out of a two-game losing streak and pick up its first road win of the season as it travels to Brown for a non-conference game. The first try for a road win last week at Maine did not go Stony Brook's way as the Seawolves fell behind by 18 points at halftime and could not make up the deficit in a 28-13 loss. Stony Brook held a five-minute advantage in possession time but was held to 72 yards rushing by the Black Bears. Dayne Hoffman threw for 199 yards and a score and three different receivers caught four passes for Stony Brook.
The Opponent Playing out of the Ivy League, Brown will be playing its first game of the season this week when it hosts Stony Brook. The Bears return 30 letterwinners and 19 starters from a 2007 team that finished 5-5 overall and 4-3 in the Ivy, good for a third-place finish. At home last season the Bears finished 4-2.
The Series This will be the first meeting between Stony Brook and Brown on the grid iron. In fact Stony Brook has never faced an Ivy League member in football. It will also be the first football game between a member of the Big South and one from the Ivy League.
