McCarty’s 20th career 100-yard rushing performance lifted Albany to a 20-16 victory over No. 20 Maine. McCarty carried 27 times for 109 yards and the game-winning touchdown, which tied the Preseason All-American for eighth all-time on the NEC scoring charts (210 pts). McCarty was at his best during the Great Danes’ fourth-quarter comeback. The senior tailback rushed eight times for 49 yards, two first downs, and one TD in the final period of play, which began with Albany trailing 16-3. Two plays after UA recovered a fumble at Maine’s 26-yard line, McCarty capped the comeback by scoring on a 24-yard run with 2:02 left.
