Improvement still wanted at Albany State

ALBANY — As Albany State head football coach Mike White and a group of assistants handed out postgame meal bags late Saturday night, the longtime coach wasn’t ready to concede that his team had arrived followed a 33-0 thumping of Lane College.

It was the Rams’ best game of the season. Defensively, they pitched their second consecutive shutout and allowed just 180 yards, 62 of which came on a deep pass play late when the game was out of reach.

Meanwhile on offense, ASU rolled up 486 yards, including 290 through the air.

“Nah, we’re still trying to get it,” White told a reporter. “I’ll know more when we start to get some consistency. If the offense comes out and does that again, and the defense plays that way as well, I’ll tell you more next week.”
