The Dukes travel up to Pennsylvania to play the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday. Led by stellar dual-threat QB, John Robertson, the &#8216;Cats have a prolific offense. And they&#8217;re particularly adept at running the ball, so, um OK. It&#8217;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&#8217;t be the end of the world, but let&#8217;s not talk about that now.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re running back the weekly prediction contest. By now you should know how it works. Add a comment to let us know who you think will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner &amp; score) will get to write a guest post. Easy as pie.
