Arguably the most consistent players in the NEC, Disch collected a game-high 15 tackles (10 solo), including nine in the second half. The junior middle linebacker helped the Great Danes defense allow just 270 total yards against nationally-ranked Delaware as Albany topped the Blue Hens on the road, 17-10. Disch has now posted double-figure tackles for the 20th time in his career and moved into sixth-place on the school's all-time tackles list with 286. Disch helped stop a fourth-quarter possession with just over four minutes remaining by forcing Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco into throwing an incomplete pass on a third-down blitz. The reigning NEC Defensive Player of the Year currently leads the league with 14.3 tackles per game.
