Good work as per usual, Venus. I can't think of any nit-picking here. And I'm grateful that you found the short-comings of others enough to ignore our Hornet shortcomings this week.

Thanks. And your team won, at least, which couldn't be said for 6 other Big Sky teams.

    Worst Performance: Lehigh 3, Colgate 30 - It's one thing to score no more than 3 points against teams like Villanova, Richmond, and Princeton, but it's quite alarming for a team to follow that with just 3 points against a Colgate squad that had looked similarly bad coming in.

    Most Surprising Result: Holy Cross 45, (#20) Monmouth 15 - The Merrimack loss is looking more & more like an scalp-hangover casualty than a true assessment of Holy Cross's ability.

    Most Surprising Result: Stony Brook 14, Fordham 31 - Weird stat fun! Four different Seawolves carried the ball on the ground, and they all ended up with 40-something yards. :?
