Semi Final Game #1: William & Mary @ Villanova Game Thread

[AZGrizFan]

Well that's a good way to get the offense started.

98 yards! Wow.

And that play broke the record for longest pass play (which was 90 yards), set in 1988 during the WIU-WKU game.

that's what happens when you blitz the safeties every down. you put your corners on an island.

[NuclearGRIZ]

Finally.... someone breaks the ice!

Yep. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Yup, I can Selle and Edwards licking their chops if Nova comes back.

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

The corner is a true freshman. Nova was asking for trouble there.

They just showed the home side for the first time.
I bet attendance is close to 10,000. That's pretty good for a 20 degree night in Philly.

[AZGrizFan]

Well.

Don't I wish I'd done more research before picking Villanova to win this.

W&M totally outplayed Villanova in their first meeting but kicked 3 short field goals instead of converting to TD's.

So far, W&M looks like the class of this game.

Agreed. Philly is not a college football town.

10k is respectable.







For the CAA.


I keed, I keed.....

I'm not so sure that should have been a penalty. Continuation of the tackle while the whistle was blowing. Tough call.

Yeah. The Tribe are moving the ball again. After a 15 yard penalty on Nova the Tribe have 1st and 10 on the Nova 29.

Stupid play bt nova

That was tough. Tough to stop the momentum there....

[BlueHen86]

Villanova needed that int.

[AZGrizFan]

...but that's a pretty good way to redeem yourself!

[AZGrizFan]

Villanova needed that int.

They need to DO something with it though. They've looked pathetic on offense.

[danefan]

Another 3 and out. Does Nova have a first down yet?

Two.

[BlueHen86]

W&M's defense looks awesome so far.

[AZGrizFan]

W&M's defense looks awesome so far.

Or Villanova's offense looks predictable....one of the two..

W&M's defense has been doing that throughout the playoffs. Nova better not fall behind by two scores.

In light of what W&M has done in the playoffs, I'll give credit to their D.

Based on the stat they just showed (231/70 in total yards) Villanova may ALREADY have fallen behind by too much.
