PROVIDENCE JOURNAL - Bryant Football Going Back to Basics

SMITHFIELD, RI --- Bryant will play its first home game as a Division I football team tomorrow, but the opponent will be a familiar foe from the Bulldogs' 10 years as a Division II school.
Southern Connecticut will visit Bulldogs Stadium for a 1 p.m. game that might be played in the remnants of Tropical Storm Hanna.
"We'd like the rain at 1," coach Marty Fine said with a laugh.
More seriously, he said that "we don't game-plan for the weather. During the spring and in training camp, we go out in anything. We don't blink or worry. We just go play."
Fine is counting on his team to play better than it did in last Saturday's season-opening 42-35 loss at Central Connecticut, the Bulldogs' Division I debut. They are playing as an independent for four years and will join the Northeast Conference for the 2012 season.
