Delaware @ Villanova

yeah, but what happened to you guys against Richmond? from an unbiased point of view, and no offense here, but it looked like Nova had given up. it was a really bad effort against a team that's really not all that good at running the ball. arm tackles, etc. Lauletta steamrolled one of your LBs like he was Mike Alstott. it was not the defense I saw play JMU at all.

True. I think Nova overcompensated for Lauletta’s passing prowess. Some knowledgeable football people at that game noticed that Lauletta checked down a lot when he saw Nova’s LB off the line of scrimmage. Who knows? Can’t argue that Richmond ran the ball down their throats. Delaware will win going away if they can run effectively, but I bet Nova won’t respect Delaware’s pass game like they did vs. Richmond. Just a hunch.
