Hey folks, Pat Coleman from the press box in Danbury, Conn., where Cortland State leads Western Connecticut 28-14 at the half. I came here with the hopes of finding out exactly how good Cortland is, because I think we might have them a touch underrated at 16 in our poll.

Big news here on Cortland’s second drive of the game, as Red Dragons quarterback Alex Smith took what appeared to be a relatively minor hit which became a serious injury. Clutching his left knee as he went to the turf, Smith was eventually carried off the field and was being fitted for crutches on the far sideline. No official word but it doesn’t look good.

Good news for Cortland is that backup Ray Miles has looked decent in his stead, completing seven of 10 passes for 82 yards and a score.
