Maine football wins home opener
Maine (2-1, 0-0 CAA) beat Stony Brook (1-2, 0-0 Big South) 28-13 in its home opener Saturday night on the new turf at Alfond Stadium.
Quarterback Adam Farkes completed 12-of-22 passes for 148 yards and four TDs.
The win puts Maine in good position it heads into its CAA opener at Richmond next week.
