UAlbany Football to Open at Pitt in 2018

Look, the 2018 football season is a long ways away and for UAlbany, you can't look past the game in front of you, nevertheless looking several years in front, but this is a cool piece of info that came out yesterday.

This is another clear indication of Gattuso's intentions for the UAlbany program: He wants to make it the best he can and he wants to win a national championship.

The only way you can get your program to the next level is to step out and play the best competition you can find.

For instance, take Delaware, who is also a member of the CAA. The Blue Hens are playing North Carolina this week.

Villanova, another CAA foe, has played Connecticut this year.

UAlbany is clearly taking the steps it can to become a national player on the FCS circuit. The Danes took on Buffalo this year which marked the first time that UA played an FBS team and it's only growing from here.
