The CSN Way: The Completely Awesome Association

Villanova’s head football coach Andy Talley calmly sat down at the post-game press conference, flanked by two 100 yard rushers in senior wideout Matt Szczur and junior quarterback Chris Whitney after their 38-17 domination over Lehigh this Saturday. After a dominating victory, in a game they never trailed with over 300 rushing yards, you’d expect the Wildcat head coach to give some praise to his team effort on the night. No such luck; Talley proceeded to disclose, that he thought his own team - the No. 3 team in the country on the way to becoming the No. 2 team in the country - was overrated. “Frankly, I think we’re overrated. We did not play well,” he said to all the press in attendance.
It’s understandable why coach Talley might want to give that message to his team, considering he has four opponents coming up on the schedule that are all ranked in the top ten FCS teams in the country. Those four opponents that concern Talley the most are the No. 1, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 teams in the country - all from the Wildcats’ own conference, the Colonial Athletic Association, or CAA. But Villanova - and all the other CAA teams in the Top 25 - are hardly overrated.
Like it or not, the CAA’s awesome performance has grabbed the attention of the wider world of FCS football this year. And the CAA deserves the accolades they’ve gotten - they’re a stacked conference in 2009. And while it’s it hasn’t exactly been a secret that their conference is one of the best in FCS, their success is making people stand up and take notice how awesome they’ve become.
