An All-PFL wideout in 2008, Valentino moved behind center and threw two touchdown passes to lead Dayton in a 21-14 victory at Robert Morris, Saturday. He received word of his position change, Tuesday, giving him four days preparation. Despite the limited prep time, Valentino completed 14-of-29 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns, including the eventual game winner. He also led the Flyers ground attack with 21 carries for 58 yards to finish with 250 yards of total offense.
