CAA Players of Week

[HailSzczur]

Offensive Player of the Week: Dae'Quan Scott, RB, James Madison
Scott played just 27 minutes in a 42-3 win over Alcorn State, but it was enough time to haul in five catches for 39 yards and a touchdown. The junior also accounted for 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries for the Dukes.

Defensive Player of the Week: Paul Worrilow, LB, Delaware
Worrilow was instrumental in helping Delaware retain the First State Cup in a 38-14 win over in-state rival Delaware State. The senior accounted for a career-high 18 tackles in the contest, helping him surpass the 300-tackle plateau in his career...the 16th Blue Hen ever to reach the mark.

Rookie of the Week: John Robertson, QB, Villanova
Robertson led the Wildcats to a come-from-behind win over Fordham in Villanova's home opener, 28-13. The freshman completed eight of 17 passes for 78 yards and touchdown, and also rushed for a net of 46 yards and a TD. Robertson gained nearly 100 yards (93) on the ground, but Fordham registered three sacks which dropped his net total to 46.

Special Teams Player of the Week: Rauley Zaragoza, P, Delaware
Zaragoza logged four punts in the Blue Hens' 38-14 win over Delaware State in the Route 1 Rivalry. His long punt of 54 helped him average a single-game career-best 48.0 yards on the day. The senior also converted a 4th-and-6 in the second quarter with a nine-yard rush.

Congrats to the Cats - I thought you were looking at 0-2, but now looking at the schedule they have a legit shot to win as many as 5 games.

Interesting read on this year's Nova offense after 2 game:
http://novafacts.blogspot.com/2012/09/could-this-be-greatest-running-game-in.html


The common in Villanova's playoff runs from 2008-2010 was simple: All three teams had a prodigious ability to run the football. If they keep up their 248 yard per game rushing average from the first two games,(which includes an offensive 3.5 sacks given up per game,) this year's Villanova team will have more rushing yards in the regular season than they did in the 2009 National Championship season. Now it would be laughable to take one statistical category and proclaim this team is better than that (amazing) team at anything, and total rushing yards are (generally) a pretty crappy indicator of how good a team is at running the ball, but the stat is there and I'm running with it!

Dae'Quan could have a good year for the Dukes.
