Could very well happen but more likely that QB-less Nova goes down!.....LOL.

[Terry2889]

Maine 37 @ Rhode Island 14- 12 PM - Maine is good... I know I keep saying that but I still believe it...
Stony Brook 21 @ Delaware 24 - 1 PM - I have a sneaking suspicion that the Hens come out swinging. Crazier things have happened.
#8 Richmond 34 @ Elon 17 - 3:30 PM - Is Richmond back?
#16 Albany 10 @ #13 Villanova 28- 3:30 PM - Villanova rebounds big against the Great Danes
#24 New Hampshire 33 @ Towson 24 - We're not really still ranked are we? Offense woke up last week.... Defense took a nap. This week they finally put it together.

I love it. Thanks.

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

I love it. Thanks.

Yep. Cold.

[melloware13]

Maine @ Rhode Island
- Bears seem to be on roll, Rams keep it somewhat interesting though
#21 Stony Brook @ Delaware
- 8 teams have beaten Hens in their first Conference game trip to Newark (Rutgers, Lafayette, New Hampshire, Richmond, Villanova, James Madison, Hofstra). Seawolves take most recent position from their fellow Long Islanders.
#7 Richmond @ Elon
- Only way I see Phoenix keeping it close is if Spiders are caught looking ahead.
#22 Albany @ #18 Villanova
- Wildcats take out their frustrations on slumping Great Danes.
New Hampshire @ Towson
- Tigers might be sliding back towards pre-Terrence West level, Wildcats easy.

Agreed.

Its homecoming & new West endzone building opening. Howie Long & friends will be there for the dedication on Friday.

It's been promoted as a day to celebrate Andy Talley's career.

It should be an ok crowd.

I know it's a stretch since it has always seemed like there's a large contingent of VU fans who only pay attention to the basketball program and perceive the football program as "division II" but has the championship of the BB team helped spark some enthusiasm with fans in the gridiron too? An overall increase in VU fan interest across the board?

Status quo. Our basketball fans are mostly just that. Only a loyal few care about the football played at Nova. The Athletic Department/marketing pay little to no attention at creating a enhanced game day experience. Limited tailgating with strict policies continue.

Coach Talley has done many great things in his life. Building a solid FCS program where academics/community are equal parts to football all done with apathetic administration & fanbase is an incredible achievement.

Most of our basketball fans dont appreciate the level of play in the FCS. It's a shame that they pass on a quality program, but it's not changing under current administration.

[Go Green]

Uh.... We aren't much better : )

No offense taken, in case you both are wondering.

UNH ​@ Towson

[WrenFGun]

Maine @ Rhode Island - 12 PM - A10 Network -- Rhose Island is dreadful.
#21 Stony Brook @ Delaware - 1 PM - Hens All-Access -- Stony Brook feels massively inconsistent, and UD will be fired up sans Brock.
#7 Richmond @ Elon - 3:30 PM - CAA.tv -- Closer than you think, IMO.
#22 Albany @ #18 Villanova - 3:30 PM - NOVA Stream ($) -- The Great Dane free fall continues, unfortunately.
New Hampshire @ Towson - 3:30 PM - CSN -- Darrius Victor was going to run for 400 yards against us, so thank god he's hurt (seriously though, get well soon, Darius!); think the Cats may have figured something out to end the JMU game, though their road performance has been less than inspired this season (closer than it should've been against Rhody, loss to UD, smoked by SDSU, squeeked by Elon). I'll take UNH by 6.

Vegas opened the line as a Pikem, that's now moved to UNH -3. -6 isn't too far off.

I picked you guys to win Saturday against Towson; Dartmouth has got more CAA wins right now than 6 out of 12 conference teams! But how you doing in the Ivy standings?

UNH held both the leading FBS (Pumphrey) and FCS ( Abdullah -after week 6) rushers to under 100 yards; wrong year for that assessment.

Football can be weird sometimes. Penn flat-out kicked our rear ends. They did to us what we did to them the past two years.

Yale was just a stinker. We basically quit when things didn't go our way. Embarrassing. I'm sure the entire team would like to have that one back.

Hopefully both games served as a lesson--we got to show up and play hard every Saturday.

What injuries were sustained during the Villanova Richmond game last week for the wildcats?

[Gangtackle11]

What injuries were sustained during the Villanova Richmond game last week for the wildcats?

We have question marks for our QB Zach Bednarczyk & All-CAA CB Malik Reeves. I don't think anyone will know before kickoff if they are in or out.

Maine @ Rhode Island - Poor Rhody.

#21 Stony Brook @ Delaware - No Brock, no problem. SBU's complete and utter lack of anything resembling a passing offense means The Chicken's former-DC-turned-HC should be able to devise a game plan stop the Seawolves' one-dimensional offense, and score just enough to break the losing streak.

#7 Richmond @ Elon - I'm still not sold on the Spiders. SBU 42, UR 14 is hard to forget, especially after SBU then went out and got spanked by Sacred Heart the following week. Jury is still out on if they're an elite team or not, but they will beat Elon. Oh yes, they will beat Elon.

#22 Albany @ #18 Villanova - With both teams coming off tough losses, I give the edge to 'Nova at home, especially if their QB is healthy.

New Hampshire @ Towson - UNH has a pretty good offense, and Towson can't stop a soul. Sad, sad days north of Baltimore.

Dave Brock @ Delaware Fans - The Fans have spoken.

[KPSUL]

Maine 35 @ Rhode Island 17: Rhody will win one CAA game this season, but not this one.
Stony Brook 21 @ Delaware 24: Joyful euphoria spreads from fans to the player, BRAWK FIRED!
Richmond 40 @ Elon 20: Richmond enjoys the 4 hour bus ride home. (4001 beers on the wall)
Albany 23 @ Villanova 31: Was holding out for the status on Bednarczyk, assuming he will not play but Howie inspires the Mid-Atlantic Cats to victory.
New Hampshire 29 @ Towson 21: If the New England cats can score 27 in 7 mins against JMU, why not 29 in 60 mins vs Towson?

[Tiger93]

Maine 20, Rhode Island 10
Delaware 20, Stony Brook 17
Richmond 30, Elon 14
Villanova 27, Albany 20
Towson 28, New Hampshire 24 - Despite the fact that Towson is not very good, this is the one program I like their style matching up against. Although, our personnel is clearly not as good as it has been in the past when they have faced New Hampshire.

Maine 27 URI 13 - Maine just might find their way into the playoffs....
Stony Brook 31 Delaware 10 - The Hens already got their win this week....
Richmond 41 Elon 20 - The Spiders are somewhere between really good and elite...
Villanova 17 Albany 16 - The Wildcats QB situation is dicey but I still like them at home. The Danes playoff hopes are nearly gone...
UNH 27 Towson 17 - The Wildcats are fighting for their playoff lives. The Tigers might be the CAA's biggest disappointment...
