Roscoe was dealt a bruising 38-7 loss at the hands of Albany in their previous meeting back in November of 2024. Thankfully for the Plowboys, Branson Beal (who rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 107 receiving yards and one score) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
