Week 8 CAA Predictions (10/18)

[GannonFan]

New Hampshire 35 Northeastern 36 – UNH comes off of its first loss of the year in a sloppy loss to W&M at home last week. Northeastern took it’s annual “L” against UMass last week, but played pretty well throughout. Northeastern’s been a pretty decent team all year and I don’t think anything different will happen here. UNH’s defense just isn’t very good and when they play a quality team that can really be their undoing. And Northeastern has had UNH’s number recently – I see NU extending the winning streak over UNH to three this week at Parsons.

Villanova 28 Rhode Island 14 – nova has to avoid looking past this game and towards their matchup with JMU next week, and it’ll be hard to do going into empty little Kingston. URI found a way to lose to Towson last week and should be overmatched against the Wildcats. I think nova sleepwalks through this game and still wins comfortably.

William and Mary 24 Delaware 14 – W&M might be for real with last week’s win at UNH, and the schedule breaks nicely for W&M now – they should be favored in every game until the last two weeks of the season and could be 7-2 going into Harrisonburg. Having Phillips back certainly helped and makes you wonder if they could’ve knocked off nova the week before had he played. Also, W&M has found a gem in RB Grimes and the Tribe are truly a threat to run the ball again. UD’s had issues all year with the QB play and there’s no reason to think that will change this week. The defense is still pretty stout, but it’s hard playing with that offense to look at. Always a fun game between these rivals and the game will be close because UD’s defense will keep them in it, but W&M is starting to show they are pretty good this year.

Hofstra 3 Maine 35 – Hello rock bottom, it’s Hofstra calling. Just a forgettable year for the oddly named Pride and Orono will be no fun for them this weekend. Maine’s a credible team although you wonder how long before Cosgrove screws that up. Not this week, though, as Hofstra will present no difficulty for the Black Bears.

Richmond 21 UMass 24 – Something will have to give this week in Amherst. Richmond needs to run the table basically at this point to feel good about making the playoffs as they sit on 3 losses, and now they have to get the bad taste out of their mouths from last week’s terrible loss to JMU on a punt return as time expired (or thereabout). UMass struggled with NU, but they always do. The big question for UMass is whether their defense really is better than the start of the year or have two underwhelming offenses in the past few weeks covered over some of their flaws? I don’t think Richmond recovers from this and I think they drop another one in Amherst, where UMass has played well of late. Unless things break nationally for Richmond (and looking at records around the nation I think it’s very possible a 4 loss team makes the playoffs again) they could be on the outside looking in come postseason time.

New Hampshire 32 Northeastern 27 - UNH scores late to steal a win

Villanova 35 Rhode Island 21 - Nova takes care of business

William and Mary 28 Delaware 13 - UD offense struggles, W&M can play

Hofstra 17 Maine 14 - That's right, i'll pick HU in the upset. Big win at UD for Maine, could this be a let down? Probably not, but i'll buck the trend of Maine votes that will come down the pike. HU wins it on a hail mary with no time on the clock.

Richmond 27 UMass 23 - Richmond will be fired up after a tough tough loss to JMU. I expect the Spiders to come out this week and continue the trend of CAA teams beating each other up.

Ouch. What about New Hampshire's defense makes you think they're capable of stopping a pretty solid team? I don't know if you were at the game this weekend, but it was an absolute embarrassment. I don't really see a way that New Hampshire beats Northeastern this weekend, but I'll root on, anyway.

I keep hoping that what I saw against W&M was an aberration or some sort of fluke.They had been playing pretty good defense since the second half of the Albany game,and will have the chance to vindicate themselves against the Huskies.This next game should tell us a lot about what they're made of.A loss will be devastating,no doubt about it.I hope to go if I can figure out how to get to Parsons.

Maine (they impressed me against UD,and are better than their record would indicate-capable of giving everyone in the CAA north a tough game)

Delaware (just have a feeling that they will surprise,and pull off the upset)

UMass ( UR needs this one to keep their playoff hopes alive,but I think that UMass is just a better all around team when they are playing up to their capabilities)

[WrenFGun]

I'm not sure there is anything New Hampshire can do to adjust their defense without completely altering their schemes. My problem with the nickel defense they perpetually play is that they are leaving 10-15 yard cushions to start between the WR's and the DB's (and yet the WR's are still getting deeper than them) and they are not getting the sufficient pass rush necessary to allow the DB's to react. I'm really excited that they can stop the run a bit better, but unfortunately, UNH cannot stop the pass. Their CB's are routinely dominated and there is never a play where the QB does not have 5-7 seconds to throw and at least an escape valve to dump to. Against W&M alone, Phillips routinely ate a sandwich in the backfield before choosing which of his 5 options to throw a guaranteed prayer to.

As an aside, I thought the key play in the game was when UNH punted on 4th and 1 when it was clear their defense was going to allow more points. It's got to be tough for the offense knowing they need to score on every possession or they will lose.

I think you've under-assessed the W&M offense. Even without Phillips, they were prolific in the second half against a very good Villanova D. They have moved, and scored against everyone they've played. Grimes creates options that make things more difficult for opposing defenses this year, and the offensive line is better. Just be glad Riggins didn't play.

[WrenFGun]

While I don't deny W&M has a good offense (they surely do), did you see the last drive. Phillips routinely threw prayers up in the air and W&M came up with every one of them. Sure, he did a good job of buying time, but the UNH defense was an absolute sieve.

Watched the film last night, and I didn't see any prayers. They were thrown to the right spot in the zone gaps, with the right touch. Phillips is excellent at putting the right amount of air under his throws, and his receivers and he are on the same page in reacting to coverage. Watching the other drives, completions were more in vertical seems, and his ball had more zip. That's just good offense.

[jpincince]

I'm not predicting a URI win vs. 'Nova, but I don't think it'll be an easy win nor do I think Kingston will be empty. It's homecoming for URI, and the Rams have mostly played well at home so far this season. 'Nova 31, URI 30.

[GeeWiz]

NU 38 UNH 31 - UNH will have problems with NU's running attack. I just think NU's to physical for UNH.

'Nova 28 URI 17 - Rhody will play the 'Cats tough in Kingston but don't have enough talent to pull off the upset

W&M 34 Delaware 21 - Impressive win by the Tribe vs. UNH and they'll keep the momentum going against the offensively challenged Blue Chickens

Maine 27 Hofstra 10 - Dirty Cubs are too strong on "D" for the Pride to make this a game.

What do you think is the problem with the CB's? Lack of talent,poor coaching,or is it just the wrong defensive philosophy? I don't know;maybe a combination of the three. xconfusedx

Well, it won't be 31-7 on Saturday, but I think we'll have success.

[Kymermosst]

W&M over UD - W&M is better and UD not as great as we all wanted to think this year.
Maine over Hofstra - Maine is just less bad than Hofstra this week. Cosgrove almost looks respectable.
UNH over Northeastern - Northeastern is possibly one of the top teams in the CAA North, but UNH pulls it out.
URI over 'Nova - URI is a wildcard every week and this week they pull off a shocker in front of all 400 URI alumni.
UMass over Richmond - The head says Richmond should have an edge. They have the more impressive resume this year, and have played well against tough competition. UMass is due for a strong showing though and I think the homecoming crowd in Amherst gives them the boost to pull off another close one.

[wideright82]

Delaware
Maine
UNH
VU- closer than some may think, if RI has a field anything close to what i remember from my frosh year im gonna say it takes away the speed advantage nova may have, the spread will be a little tougher to run here than on the fast field turf of some of the other venues this year. Also with a home game coming up against the #1, cats over look the rams until talley lays down a speech at halftime. (again not sure if they still have the grass field, if they have switched then i say nova by 2 tds)

Richmond- must win for the spiders, this team is going to come out fired up after the blunder against JMU (punt).

BYE - JMU sleeps through the first half against BYE and JMU cannot overcome the difference in the second half. BYE last second fg for the lock and win by 9.

[jpincince]

URI's field is grass. This season at home URI has beaten Monmouth 27-24, lost to UNH 51-43, and beaten Brown 37-13.

[wideright82]

thank you jp then i still hold that one as a close game. That field is fine if you have proven that you can make it rain, but when you are a team that has proven success time after time on the ground, the sand based grass of URI can be somewhat difficult. Last time nova was there was in 04, ended up being somewhat of a lopsided victory, we will see this time, but i think it is close in Rhodey

[WrenFGun]

What do you think is the problem with the CB's? Lack of talent,poor coaching,or is it just the wrong defensive philosophy? I don't know;maybe a combination of the three. xconfusedx

I see a lot of people suggesting that Ryan Hinds be benched in favor of Clements and McGuiness, but I actually think Hinds is the better CB of the two we have. I don't really get hung up on where our DB's are playing, either. Clements is routinely covering TE's and WR's because our DB's don't shift with motion, so as long as he's on the field, it's fine. I suppose you could question whether guys like McGuiness, Flemings, Garron, etc. should be on the field over Vasso, but I'm not sure any are substantial upgrades. I don't think our DB talent (Klein, Clements, Vasso, Hinds and Souza) is all that bad, so my opinion is that is the scheme.

It's come to my attention that UNH has been blitzing more, though unless it is Sean Ware or Hugo Souza, it's hard to really notice an impact. My opinion is simply this: if you're going to sit back and play 15 yards of cushion on the WR's, you better be able to have a lot of guys in coverage and prevent the routine openings that the QB is likely to have after having nearly 5-7 seconds to throw. UNH (and frankly, most of FCS) do not have those types of shutdown defenders. I think it would behoove UNH to blitz as many as 6-7 defenders regularly and PRESS COVER. If the QB only has 2-3 seconds to throw, then you're not asking the defender to do anything more than play tight coverage for the brief period of time. Yeah, they might get beat occassionally, but playing this type of defense would do 1 of 2 things: it would lead to the defense being on the field for less, whether it be quick strike scores, turnovers or better defense, and it would conversely lead to the offense being on the field longer, which is undeniably UNH's strong suit. That means more points, more possessions and potentially better field position. Allowing for the offense of the opposing team to surgically move the ball down the field just to avoid the "big play" does not make a whole lot of sense. The current defense allows for as many points as the offense would like; if they want more points, just run faster plays and more plays.

The difference is simple to me, blitz heavy and blitz often. The defense CANNOT be worse than it was against W&M. If they're going to score, let them score quick and NOT wear the defense out.

I am not sure on paper, or really in theory, but then again i guess the thesis you are looking for is in the archives from last year. It probably has some similarities to the one about us beating delaware. Believe me i am confident we will win, but i also have learned never underestimate your opponent. ESPECIALLY when going into the biggest game of your season the following week. Nova should be a 2 touchdown favorite, but on grass (sandy grass), away, and a possible oversight of the team, you don't need a thesis to explain an upset, you need 2 things. Overconfidence and underestimating.

I still don't think we'll overlook this team, we'll get pressure on their Quarterback and force him to make some mistakes, a lot of their weaknesses are our strengths.

agreed, i dont think we will overlook them either. I was merely answering your thesis question. It should be a good game, i personally am hoping for a blowout.

[Hoyadestroya85]

The difference between Villanova and San Diego is that we play a tough schedule, have a historically good team, and don't gloat about our players being the best...

[DB_Atlantic10]

Well since the Dukes are off this week... I guess I will play in the prediction games....

W&M vs UD....Man, if the Blue Hens can't create any offense, this could be a long day. The concern here is not UDs defense or W&M's offense, these two are evenly matched. But it's the UD's offense that scares me. The difference here is, how many TDs will UD's offense give W&M defense? After listening to coach Keeler on the weekly concall, he still thinks his QB is improving...... xeekx . Two things that Laycock is great at is creating QBs and DBs. I think the W&M secondary will have a field day against the UD donating passing attack. W&M by 14, the difference of two defensive returns.



Maine vs Hofstra, after seeing both of these teams play, Maine's defensive front and solid ground pounding running game will be a bit much for Hoftra's 11 guys against the offense or defense and Hofstra's short throw offensive attack. Maine by 21 with over 250 rushing yards.


Northeastern vs UNH, I think NU will win this with a solid ground control clock hogging game by keeping UNH's offense off the field. UNH may not have the solid front to stop NU's running game. I think NU wins by FG on a final defensive stop with under a min to play


Nova vs URI, coach Talley drops a grenade and Nova escapes through the smoke filled skies in a tight win on the road.

Game of the Week:
This is another situation where I've seen both of these teams play... To be honest, I think UR will create a mismatch for UMass's run stopping and blitz happy defense. UMass claims to have the best set of Corners that the CAA has to offer, well this will be their chance to prove it. UR killed JMU on their blitzes with max protect and great WR routes. UMass blitzes twice as much as the Dukes...so if Small's and company don't step it up, it's going to be a long day. Also, I think that UR has a big edge in their running game, especially against a suspect UMass run D. UR's offensive front is "MASSIVE" FBS size. On another note, I think if UMass can establish a solid run game, it will force UR to play more men on the line opening things up for Coen's passing game....mainly because UR hardly ever blitzes and usually brings a strong front four, leaving 7 back to defend the pass. If UMass can't establish the run, UR will win this going away. I think UR will win this by 10 points.

Also another thing of note, I don't know exactly when the last loss at home from UMass came, but UR's last visit there resulted in a 24-14 UR win in 2004. xrulesx

[WrenFGun]

While I too think Northeastern will win, they will probably not win because they ran all over us. With the exception of one big run from Grimes last weekend, UNH is not routinely beaten on the ground. The problem is that Orio will playaction pass UNH to death.

New Hampshire Northeastern
Villanova Rhode Island
William & Mary Delaware
Hofstra Maine
Richmond UMass

[Henwatcher]

Villanova at Rhode Island- The Wildcat defense should smother the Ram offense. Whitney & company will score as often as they want to. Villanova 38 Rhode Island 10.
William & Mary at Delaware- Laycock will easily be the best coach on the field in Newark Saturday. The Hens defense joins the offense, special teams and coaching in making it a total collapse by the 2008 squad. The Hens will be able to start celebrating another loss early Saturday evening. The Tribe 42 The Hapless Hens 3, 7, or 10.
Hofstra at Maine- Not much happening here. A rough season for the Pride gets worse. It sould be 2 games in a row for Maine where all they have to do is catch the throws from the opposing QB. Maine 20 Hofstra 10.
Richmond at Massachusetts- UR is the better team, but the best team doesn't always win. The Spiders NEED to win this one and will 24-21.
New Hampshire at Northeastern- Look for the UNH offense to pull this one out. Northeastern will keep it close but a key turnover will lead to the winning drive late in the 4th. UNH 35 Northeastern 31.

UMass is 27-3 at McGuirk since 2003.

The loss to the Spiders was of Stacey Tutt. I was there. On the last play of the first half, the UMass blitz flushed him out and he ran around forever before finding an open receiver in the endzone.

I think he had over a 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing. Tutt had like 80% of their offense. xrotatehx

I guess that why the next year when you guys came to visit we started him at WR xeekx . That is also the last time we saw you so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. A lot has changed for both of us since then.

So who was the last team to win at McGuirk?

I guess that why the next year when you guys came to visit we started him at WR xeekx . That is also the last time we saw you so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. A lot has changed for both of us since then.

[rcny46]

Oh, I'm not worried about the height. They'd have a problem with the NU wideouts if they were 5'2 and 15 years old.

Wow,something tells me you're taking that W&M loss harder than I am.

Well, it's hard not to take the worst defensive effort I've ever seen hardly. People may think I'm overreacting, but watching that defense is just embarrassing.

Thanks, I was wondering how far back 16 games was...
Oh, and I set you up for the other one. xlolx

[Kymermosst]

UMass is 27-3 at McGuirk since 2003.

The 27-3 was coming into 2008. We're currently at 29-3.

The UNH game was 10/29/05. #4 UNH 34 - #7 UMass 28. We beat them twice in 2006 just to make up for it. xsmiley_wix

Since I had to looked in the Media Guide anyway, UMass is 13-9 all time against Richmond. However, UMass and Richmond are 5-5 at McGuirk, while it's 8-4 UMass on the road.

Couple of points...

1. NU hasn't won at UMass since Eisenhower was President, I believe. We've never won at UD or W&M.

2. Mickey wants BYE in the CAA instead of NU because he likes their facilities better. However, without NU and our crappy facilities, there would be no CAA Football.

So Mickey, STFU and worry about coaching football. If coaches can't get their teams up for a game at Parsons, what does that tell you about the players and the coaches?

As one poster noted "the field hasn't changed much in 15 years" - exactly, you know what you're getting.

UNHAlum's Bratwurst (plus whatever the other Wildcat Faithful bring)
Traditional Dogs, Burgers

Plenty of drinkables and edibles.

Heh. I have a penchant for arriving late to things. My roommates are likely coming, so if you see a Santos jersey and a Ball jersey standing together, it's likely us. If I get there early, though, I'll swing by the tailgating area.

47/57 - 83% I'm going to have to write Bruce Dowd and find out if his % is as high as mine ;)

While I have flinched a time or two, I've stayed true to my preseason picks. However, I'm afraid this weekend, I must admit I'm wrong about one of the teams in the CAA. Or at least I should say, I'm wrong about the progress I thought that team would make during the season. First onto the picks I'm staying with;

Richmond 24 @ UMass 28. This is no dig against UR, however on the road against a UMass team is still a pretty tough order. And UMass is not as sharp as I thought they would be this season, but they still know how to win at home. In a back and forth game, UMass scores last to seal the victory.

Nova 28 @ URI 7. Nova will probably put up the 28 by halftime and eat clock in the 2nd half. URI will be in catch-up mode all game, and probably score a gift concession TD late in the 4th qtr.

UNH 28 @ NU 24. While it's only their 2nd loss, it was still a disturbing loss @ home. The Nothern Cats are now fighting for their post season lives so there's a sense of urgency here. However the Northern Huskies don't go down easy at home. The Cats prevail, but at what cost????

Hofstra 14 @ Maine 21. HU keeps it interesting, but there's a resurgence in Maine. Could last week be the beginning of great things to come??? Maine wins at home to keep the home crowd smiling for at least another week.

tsk.....tsk....tsk.....Here we are in Wk#8, and the Sun is setting on a once proud football team and it's fans. Back on Feb 4th, I guessed UD would have some growing pains, but would get through it and at least pull out a .500 season. Back then I predicted they would beat W&M @ home 28 - 27. I'm afraid that will not be the case. UD's problems far exceed growing pains, and honestly, it's hard to prioritize what needs fixing first or the most. IMO, I would start with the O-Line, OC, QB, then RB. They've also lost defensive personnel. This game won't be pretty;
Tribe 28 @ UD 10.

Good luck

The only problem we have is our QB play. When the QB cannot pass and throws several INT's per game it's an easy defensive game plan. Teams stack against the run and dare you to pass which is the case of late with Delaware. Our young O-line played great against Maryland the 1st game and we have the same personel at WR/TE last year and RB is a plug and play position. We have plenty of talent at RB. Our Defense is ranked 3rd (I think) in scoring defense at 18 points per game despite TWO INT's returned for TD's which skews that stat. Unless Shoenhoft suddenly matures and starts playing well we will continue to lose games b/c KC Keelers offense is completely dependent on how good the QB is.

Ouch. What about New Hampshire's defense makes you think they're capable of stopping a pretty solid team? I don't know if you were at the game this weekend, but it was an absolute embarrassment. I don't really see a way that New Hampshire beats Northeastern this weekend, but I'll root on, anyway.

I just think its bad to pick against ur team :p


New Hampshire Northeastern
Villanova Rhode Island
William & Mary Delaware
Hofstra Maine
Richmond UMass


Villanova at Rhode Island- The Wildcat defense should smother the Ram offense. Whitney & company will score as often as they want to. Villanova 38 Rhode Island 10.
William & Mary at Delaware- Laycock will easily be the best coach on the field in Newark Saturday. The Hens defense joins the offense, special teams and coaching in making it a total collapse by the 2008 squad. The Hens will be able to start celebrating another loss early Saturday evening. The Tribe 42 The Hapless Hens 3, 7, or 10.
Hofstra at Maine- Not much happening here. A rough season for the Pride gets worse. It sould be 2 games in a row for Maine where all they have to do is catch the throws from the opposing QB. Maine 20 Hofstra 10.
Richmond at Massachusetts- UR is the better team, but the best team doesn't always win. The Spiders NEED to win this one and will 24-21.
New Hampshire at Northeastern- Look for the UNH offense to pull this one out. Northeastern will keep it close but a key turnover will lead to the winning drive late in the 4th. UNH 35 Northeastern 31.

Richmond has a pretty favorable schedule from here on out, minus playing at W&M (although I doubt you guys have the history we do in Williamsburg). I'm expecting a playoff berth from you guys.

1. NU hasn't won at UMass since Eisenhower was President, I believe. We've never won at UD or W&M.

2. Mickey wants BYE in the CAA instead of NU because he likes their facilities better. However, without NU and our crappy facilities, there would be no CAA Football.

So Mickey, STFU and worry about coaching football. If coaches can't get their teams up for a game at Parsons, what does that tell you about the players and the coaches?

As one poster noted "the field hasn't changed much in 15 years" - exactly, you know what you're getting.


Here are my picks for the week...

W&M
Maine
UNH
Nova
Richmond

Menu for Homecoming....

Chicken Cacciatore
Jambalaya (Husky Alum's Annual Homecoming Dish)
Sausage and Peppers (from the garden)
UNHAlum's Bratwurst (plus whatever the other Wildcat Faithful bring)
Traditional Dogs, Burgers

Plenty of drinkables and edibles.

Dane, you in or not for this one?
