Despite playing with a flak jacket to protect sore ribs, Jones keyed a record-breaking Albany running attack on Saturday, carrying 24 times for a season-high 162 yards in the Great Danes’ 42-7 win over visiting Sacred Heart. Albany’s 404 rushing yards established a new NEC single-game mark as Jones cracked the 100-yard plateau for the ninth time in his last 11 games dating back to last season. Jones, the NEC Offensive Player of the Year last season when he set a league record with 1,509 yards on the ground, moved into fourth place on Albany’s career rushing touchdowns chart (25) with a 21-yard scamper in the first quarter to give the Great Danes a 14-0 edge. The Ravena, NY native also climbed to eighth on the school list in career rushing yards (1,884), ninth in all-purpose yards (2,363) and into a tie for fourth in scoring with 156 points.
