Boston Sports Then and Now

Quarterback Bryant Johnson passed for 246 yards and rushed for 72 as the Falcons remained undefeated with a win over AIC. They face Merrimack on Saturday.

The Bentley Falcons will look to stay undefeated this week as they meet the powerful offense of Merrimack College Warriors.  Last week the Falcons had a great 30-20 win over American International to remain perfect so far in 2009 .

It was a team effort that topped the speed of AIC last week as Bentley soared past the Yellow Jackets in the fourth quarter.  The offense had a total of 390 yards with great individual efforts from John Malone (10 catches for 103 yards) and Bryant Johnson (246 yards passing and 72 yards running).

On the defensive side Matt Zahoruiko had 12 tackles, and Liam Reagan, Chris Carroll, and Eric Song each had interceptions that played a huge role in the games outcome.

The defensive and offensive lines also played a great game, as we would not be at 5-0 without them.  We also have the best kicker in the NE-10 as Tyler McNamara made 3 more field goals.

The Bentley Falcons opened the 2009 football season with a 14-13 comeback win over Ohio Dominican.

After an exciting opening game against Ohio Dominican, the Bentley University football squad is 1-0.  In the second half our team came together and scored two touchdowns to come from behind and win the game.

Not too long after we got back from the airport we were practicing hard for our next game against Curry College.  Curry is a DIII team, but don’t let that fool you.  They are a very well coached team and love to fly around the field. They advance to the playoffs almost every year.

One of the hardest things for a college athlete to do is to juggle academics and athletics.  In a normal in-season week we have lifting twice a week, film every day, and practice every day.  The athletics side takes up about 5 to 6 hours of an athlete’s day.
