Liberty @ Villanova

[Mvemjsunpx]

Liberty already shut down Vad Lee, so can they shut down Super Vad Lee… a.k.a. John Robertson? The Flames are certainly good enough to make this a game, but their run D just seems too weak for me to trust them.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Villanova
      
      Running Backs - Villanova
      
      Receivers/TEs - Liberty
      
      Offensive Line - Liberty
      
      
      Defensive Line - Liberty
      
      Linebackers --- Villanova
      
      Secondary ---- Liberty
      
      
      Kicking ------ Liberty
      
      Punting ------ Liberty
      
      Return Teams - Villanova
      
      Kickoffs ------ Villanova
      
      
      
      
      
      • Liberty 27-35 Villanova

If Liberty has the better lines (off & def) it will be a whale of a game. JR might still be the difference though. As good as the QB's are that Liberty has faced, JR is another level.

Nova 35-17

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 7, Catholics 0, early 1st, bout 2 1/2 minutes in...

LU took opening kick to VU 20 something and took about 6-7 plays to score. After VU held for 3 plays after 1st and goal VU was offsides, gave LU another down from 1/2 yard line and LU QB ran it in.

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 10, Cathlics 0. About 6 min left 1st. LU hold VU to 3 and out. LU drive, 50 yd LU FG.

Listening on VU radio broadcast. VU comentators have said LU fans have "engulfed the stadium". Sounds like LU fans outnumber VU fans despite Lynchburg being about 5.5 hrs away.

[SuperHornet]

Fumble-ayah!

Let's go, Flames!!!!!

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 13, VU 0.

VU punt, LU punt, VU punt, VU intercepted LU pass, VU later fumbled it back. LU FG, 9:20 left left 2nd qtr.

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 13, Catholics 7

VU long pass to LU 5, punched in in after 2 plays.

[BDKJMU]

Catholics 14, Baptists 13, 5:24 left 2nd qtr.

LU fumbled kickoff, VU punches it in in 4 plays from the 15.

[93henfan]

Hell yeah Nova! Bring KC Keeler back to the Delaware Valley baby!

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 19, Catholics 14, 1:31 left 1st half.

VU fumble, LU scoop and score for 58 yd TD, left in the 1st half. Failed 2 point conversion.

Think both teams have 2 turnovers in the rain.

[SuperHornet]

That should have been a re-try on the 2-pt. Classic defensive PI. The receiver was wearing the defender like a cape....

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 22, Catholics 14

VU holds LU on opening drive 3rd qtr, then fumbles punt, LU recovers at VU 45 and drives for FG.

Turnovers & special teams the difference so far.

[BDKJMU]

Baptists 22, Catholics 22, early 4th qtr.

Long VU catch and run for TD. VU. Robertson runs it in for 2 point conversion.

[BDKJMU]

VU driving & Robertson fumbles at the LU 27, LU recovers with about 10 min left in the 4th qtr.

VU has fumbled 6 times, lost 4. 2 turnovers for LU.

[SuperHornet]

I can't believe that OBVIOUS 'Nova PI was ignored....

[93henfan]

TD Nova

[BDKJMU]

Catholics 29, Baptists 22, 1+ min left 4th.

VU just went on 18 play, 84 yd, 7+ minute drive to likely win it. All 18 plays were on the ground. Robertson ran it in from 1.

[93henfan]

*29-22

[BDKJMU]

Final: Catholics 29, Baptists 22.

[93henfan]

Congrats Nova on the win. KC Keeler coming back to the area! Woot.

[SuperHornet]

Congratulations, Villanova. That was a hard-fought win....

[BDKJMU]

Congrats Nova on the win. KC Keeler coming back to the area! Woot.

How ironic. He couldn't beat Talley coaching for UD. Maybe he can coaching for SHSU..

Well, if by "couldn't beat Talley" you really mean "beat Talley four times" then you're absolutely correct.
