Kickoff: 1 p.m.

URI issues in a new era under first-year coach Darren Rizzi. Rizzi has scrapped former coach Tim Stowers' run-heavy offense and has vowed to have a better passing attack with a spread offense, featuring senior triple-option quarterback Derek Cassidy and junior QB D.J. Stefkovich. URI fans will get a glimpse of Rizzi's new offensive playbook tomorrow afternoon. Rhody's defense will be tested by Monmouth fifth-year senior quarterback Brett Burke, who led the NEC's top-ranked passing attack last season, and senior second-team All-NEC running back David Sinisi, who rushed for 1,184 yards and 17 touchdowns.
