UAlbany football focuses on red-zone issues ahead of Delaware State matchup
Summary

The team has scored on just 66.7% of its red-zone trips, the worst in the league and tied for 102nd nationally in the Football Championship Subdivision. Head coach Tom Perkovich stated that execution and creativity in red-zone plays are critical for future success.
