Brennan Myer accounted for two touchdowns as Bryant knocked off No. 21 Albany 31-7 on Saturday, putting a dent in the Great Danes' playoff résumé.

The Bulldogs (6-4, 4-2 Coastal Athletic Association) jumped to a 28-0 halftime lead by controlling the ball and capitalizing on Albany mistakes. Opening drives of 65 and 93 yards ended with short scoring runs by Kendrick Agenor and Jordan Bennett. A pair of second-quarter turnovers set up Myer for a rushing score and a touchdown pass to Shamar Fowles from short fields.

Albany (6-3, 4-2) entered on a four-game winning streak and ranked 10th nationally in rushing defense at 105 yards allowed per game. Bryant rolled up 142 rushing yards and 396 total. Toby Brown Jr. recorded three sacks to help hold the Great Danes to 108 first-half yards and 245 for the game.

Kai Colón's 8-yard touchdown run capped an 80-yard drive early in the fourth quarter for Albany's only points.

It was Bryant's first win over a ranked opponent since 2014.

Mickey's Angle: Bryant just exposed Albany as vulnerable against physical fronts—something playoff committees and future opponents will note.
