I'll say 35-19 Nova, as the Wildcats coast home in the FCS Catholic Bowl before a screaming throng of, oh, 1200 or so (half of whom are wearing collars).

Villanova was the best team UD played this year and that includes Navy. If Nova plays up to their abilities they will be in Chattanooga next month.

A crappy Harvard team played HOLY CROSS to a late 7 point loss... Harvard..!!! Probably the worst team Harvard has put on the field in 15 years... and they gave HOLY CROSS all they could handle


Not good:

Holy Cross: 7
Villanova: 56

I wish I cuold tell you. I have a meeting in NYC today so I couldn't make it down to the game. Only listening. I'm guessing not that full, but Fact (HoyaDestroya) will have to inform us on the stands. I'm hoping now that HC is heading into the wind they will struggle a little more. :shock:
