Prediction Contest: JMU vs. Villanova
This is a big one folks. The Dukes travel up to Pennsylvania to play the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday. Led by stellar dual-threat QB, John Robertson, the ‘Cats have a prolific offense. And they’re particularly adept at running the ball, so, um OK. It’s a tough match-up against a very talented team that will be out for revenge after losing to at JMU last season. A win would ratchet JMU fan expectations up quite a bit. A loss wouldn’t be the end of the world, but let’s not talk about that now.

I was at the game two years ago, and the Dukes got stomped up in Philly. That team was probably more talented than the one one the field today, and I think the score is gonna bear that out. Villanova: a hard place to tailgate, a harder place to win football games.
