Husson University and Union College (NY) have never met on the gridiron but you can surely believe the the Dutchmen have heard of Eagles running back John Smith.

Coach Gabby Price and the Eagles are coming off their best season ever (9-2) with Smith and QB Cory Brandon returning. On defense, DE Luke Wasburn returns as reigning ECFC Defensive Player of the Year.
Union College plays in the Liberty Conference and coming off a 3-7. Second year coach Jeff Behrman is a former offensive coordinator for Stony Brook.
