Thompson looks to solidify SBU role after first start
SBU football team set to take on Wagner College this weekend
Stony Brook football will look to get back in the win column this weekend when they host Wagner College. The Seawolves are coming off a tough loss to Towson last week, but they will be looking to bounce back against a Wagner team that is also looking for its first win of the season.
Thompson steps into starting role
One of the biggest storylines for SBU this week will be the starting debut of quarterback Tyler Thompson. Thompson took over the starting job last week after starter Tyquell Fields went down with an injury. Thompson completed 16-of-29 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown in his first start, and he will be looking to build on that performance this week.
Seawolves look to improve offense
SBU's offense has struggled to find its footing this season, averaging just 14.3 points per game. The Seawolves will need to find a way to generate more offense against a Wagner defense that is allowing 27.3 points per game.
Defense looks to continue strong play
SBU's defense has been a bright spot for the team this season, allowing just 19.7 points per game. The Seawolves will need to continue to play well on defense against a Wagner offense that is averaging 20.3 points per game.
Seawolves look to avoid 0-3 start
SBU is looking to avoid an 0-3 start to the season with a win over Wagner. The Seawolves have not started 0-3 since 2016, and they will be looking to avoid that fate this year.
Conclusion
SBU football will look to get back on track this weekend when they host Wagner College. The Seawolves will be looking to bounce back from a tough loss last week, and they will be looking to avoid an 0-3 start to the season. Quarterback Tyler Thompson will be making his first start of the season, and he will be looking to lead the Seawolves to victory.
