1. Branden Oliver looked like a man among boys Saturday night. He refused to be brought down and sprinted away from defensive backs like nobody's business. His sheer athleticism separated him from everyone on Stony Brook.
2. I didn't think Chazz Anderson looked as impressive this week as he did versus Pitt. He didn't have his best performance. Still, he got the job done and led the Bulls to victory, which is all you can ask of your starting QB.
3. The penalty on Khalil Mack was garbage. A couple plays before, Stony Brook was flagged for "deception" – a call none of us in the press box had ever heard of. The flag on Mack was a total make-up call. He didn't dance, or high step, or even lift the ball over his head. He just extended his arms, reaching for the end zone. I've never seen a more ludicrous call. As it turned out, that flag didn't matter, but just imagine if that were to happen in a close game.
