Upset?

The college football world is still talking about Appalachian State's stunning upset of Michigan last week: 34-32.

In Orono, the Black Bears are preparing to take on I-A (now Football Bowl Subdivision) Connecticut Saturday in Hartford. Don't think Maine - who also beat Mississippi State back in 2004 - isn't thinking upset.

Maine beat Monmouth (NEC) 21-14 to open the season last week, flashing a strong running game.

On Saturday the Black Bears are hoping to add more dimension to its offense, most notably in the passing game.

"There certainly has to be more of something," said Head Coach Jack Cosgrove. "We have to get more balance no question."

Here's a clip from the last 2:44 of the Appalachian State game. Wild stuff.

about Jenn and this blog

Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
excellent-gas-mileage
Honda Civic to prove it.

Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
