The betting spreads are soft-pedalling this one, IMO. If SDSU can take out UCD by as much as they did, I think we just might see Villanova do the same thing...if they don't shut it down early.

5 Villanova d. Holy Cross 56-10

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

These two teams are similar statistically, but I trust Villanova's passing & kicking games more. Holy Cross didn't exactly play well against Sacred Heart, either.

I'll take Villanova 30-14

So far a little bit of a snoozefest. Not sure if it can be called a defensive battle, as Villanova keeps shooting themselves in the foot quite a bit. Villanova QB hasn't had the greatest half as far as throwing.

Nova is wearing down HC. Unless something drastic changes, might be a blow-out

HC came back and made it a game.
