  • AU Vs. Utica Game Notes 11/06/13
    AU vs. Utica Game Notes 11/06/13 Alfred University Saxons vs. Utica College Pioneers Saturday, Nov. 9, 1 p.m. Yunevich Stadium, Alfred, NY Last meeting: 2012, Utica win, 31-7, at Utica Last week: AU: W, 21-21, vs. Salisbury; Utica, L, 28-27, at St. John Fisher Saxon Offense: 30.6 points per game Saxon Defense: 21 points per game Pioneer Offense: 24.9 points per game Pioneer Defense: 27.6 points per game Players to watch: AU — Tyler Johnson, FR, QB; Austin Dwyer, SR, TB; Josh Phillips, SR, WR; Jonathan Ruffin, SR, WR; Michael Perkins, JR, FS; Seiji Hinton, SR, DB; Justin Liberta, JR, OLB; Peter Diak, SO, OLB; Justin Collen, SR, DE. Utica — Connor Butkiewicz, JR, QB; Anthony Acevedo, JR, WR; Jamie Murphy, SR, WR; Jake Larson, SR, RB; Sean Jones, SR, WR; Joe Giametta, SR, OLB; Ryan Hansen, SR, OLB; James Lenahan, JR, FS; Rob Alexander, JR, CB. Key matchups: Alfred pass defense against a Utica offense that relies heavily on its passing game. Utica produces 361 yard of offense per game, and more than two thirds (247 yards) comes through the air. The Saxons will look to pressure Utica QB Connor Butkiewicz (15 interceptions) into some mistakes, and continue a trend over the last three games in which AU has forced 11 turnovers (five interceptions, six fumbles). Last week, AU faced a Salisbury team that had a heavily run-oriented offense and held the Sea Gulls to 100 yards under their per-game rush average; the Saxons hope to do the same to Utica&s passing attack this weekend.

  • It's the 10Th Anniversary of the Chunky Soup Ads!
    IT’S THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHUNKY SOUP ADS! Yes, a lot of soup has been sipped since the NFL and Campbell’s Chunky soup debuted their player-and-mom TV spots in 1997. Ten years ago, Green Bay Packers defensive end REGGIE WHITE became the first NFL player to serve as a spokesman for Campbell’s Chunky. This year’s roster of eight players is the largest contingent of NFL stars ever to participate in the Campbell’s Chunky soup “Mama’s Boys” advertising campaign. The 2007-08 class of Campbell’s Chunky spokesmen includes MATT HASSELBECK (Seattle Seahawks), TODD HEAP (Baltimore Ravens), DEVIN HESTER (Chicago Bears), LARRY JOHNSON (Kansas City Chiefs), MAURICE JONES-DREW (Jacksonville Jaguars), LA DAINIAN TOMLINSON (San Diego Chargers), JONATHAN VILMA (New York Jets) and DE MARCUS WARE (Dallas Cowboys), all of whom will be featured, along with their moms, in this season’s advertising campaign. “With our biggest roster of NFL players, we anticipate an exciting year with the NFL,” said DOUG JOHNS, Senior Brand Manager of Campbell’s Chunky soup. “Our eight NFL players are incredibly talented, good-hearted guys, who truly exemplify the ‘Chunky’ brand and our consumer – and we can’t forget about how they look out for mom, too.” Over the past 10 years, numerous NFL stars have participated in the “Mama’s Boys” campaign. Denver Broncos greats TERRELL DAVIS and JOHN ELWAY served as spokesmen in 1998-99. Philadelphia’s DONOVAN MC NABB and Pittsburgh’s JEROME BETTIS were among the spokesmen in 2002-03, the first year that real moms appeared in the Chunky soup ads.
