Last week: 2-3 for the PL out of conference. This week's entries:
Holy Cross (0-1) vs. Boston College (1-0)
Sacred Heart (1-0) at Bucknell (0-1)
Lafayette (0-1) at Delaware (0-1)
Campbell (1-0) at Georgetown (1-0)
Villanova (1-0) at Lehigh (1-0)
Colgate (1-0) at New Hampshire (0-1)
Fordham (0-1) at Richmond (0-1)
Some thoughts for each game:
1. Almost no one under 40 has any memory of watching the Holy Cross-BC series, but this game won't get much attention south of the Mass Pike. BC put up 48 on UMass by halftime and coasted to a 55-7 win. Will they put the same hurt on the Purple?
2. Is Sacred Heart that good? The teams were basically even last year, so another test for the rising fortunes of the NEC.
3. Is Lafayette that bad? The loss to URI will fire up the Hens even further to redeem their ways Saturday.
4. The two game Campbell-Georgetown series ends Saturday as the Camels aim higher than PL opponents. While CU will soon be playing North Carolina and ECU, Georgetown gets...Marist. And as things stand, Campbell is much better than Marist.
5. Villanova-Lehigh is the game of the week. Bad time for the Engineers after Villanova stuffed Temple in its opener.
6. Colgate at UNH? See Lafayette at Delaware. Tough place for the road team.
7. Fordham at Richmond: It will be closer than people think, but the Spiders are favored.
