After being named STATS FCS national Rookie of the Week and also getting both the rookie and offensive player awards among Patriot League teams, what does he do next? Great Danes' QB Undercuffl­er set two records and tied two others while going 31-for-53 for 398 yards and 4 TDs in a loss to Monmouth. WR Green had 15 catches for 245 yards and three TDs. Earlier, UAlbany ran for 362 yards in a win over Bryant; James had 229. Both teams have put points on the board every time they've been in the red zone; Leopards 9-for-9, 7 TDs; Great Danes 7-for-7, 6 TDs. Both teams have suffered three-point losses to Monmouth, UAlbany's in overtime.
