ALBANY — Football coaches are a superstitious lot.
They don’t like things that upset the routine. They don’t like anything that can water down their team’s motivation and they certainly don’t like anything that adds fuel to the opposition’s fire.
Needless to say, many of them aren’t too keen on being picked as the No. 1 team prior to the season. It’s one of those things can upset the apple cart in all three of the aforementioned ways. And believe it or not, 2022 is Albany coach Denney Faith’s first experience in dealing with it.
