Monmouth is 1-1 after rallying for a 31-24 victory over Sacred Heart, giving first-year head coach Jeff Gallo his first career win. Quarterback Frankie Weaver completed 26 of 37 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns without an interception, while Gavin Nelson caught eight passes for 89 yards and a score.
