Casale made numerous key plays during Albany’s 22-16 road win at Hofstra, but none were bigger than his block of a 34-yard field goal attempt that preserved a 16-16 tie in the waning seconds of regulation. Giving his team a chance to emerge victorious in overtime, Casale enjoyed a career day at Hofstra’s Shuart Stadium. Amassing a double-digit, single-game tackle total for the first time, the junior free safety made a career-high 13 stops, seven of which were solo.
