Bronx, N.Y. - The Fordham University football Rams continue their 2018 home schedule, the 118th varsity season at Rose Hill, by hosting the Central Connecticut State University Blue Devils on Jack Coffey Field on Saturday, September 22, at 1:00 p.m. as part of 2018 Homecoming.
 
The game will be streamed live on Stadium with Andrew Bogusch (p-b-p) and Ricky Cibrano (color) announcing and broadcast live on WFUVsports.org with Raffaele Elia (p-b-p), Emmanual Berbari (color) and Dominic Muscarella (sidelines) handling the announcing chores.
 
Fordham enters the game with an 0-3 record, coming off a loss at 28-6 loss to #21/24 Stony Brook on Jack Coffey Field last weekend, while Central Connecticut is 1-2 on the season and is coming off a 41-24 home loss to Columbia last Saturday.
 
This will be the second meeting between Fordham and Central Connecticut on the gridiron. The Rams took the first meeting, 38-31, in New Britain last year. In the win, Corey Caddle caught eleven passes for 180 yards and a touchdown and Lawrence Menyah picked off a pass and returned it 29 yards for a score with 1:27 remaining to provide the winning margin.
