HOLY CROSS @ LAFAYETTE Cross seems like the better team, but pards are playing better and at home. I think this one is close, maybe a let down for crusaders after being knocked out of league title. Pards by a field goal or less.

LEHIGH @ GEORGETOWN Starters get some fourth quarter rest to start thinking about the Rivalry. Lehigh wins by more than three scores.

COLGATE @ BUCKNELL Colgate will win this one easily, at least 3 TD margin.

FORDHAM Scholarship boys do not lose to a bye!

I'll go with van's picks. Would like pards to win a game before we play. Take the edge off. Pard D decent. O is dreadful. OL not as good as I thought they would be. qb has killed them all year. Quilling canbe very good but he has lots of "what was he thinking" moments. Also, no depth to speak of. The consequences of 42 equivalencies over 85 players.
Pressure on Tavani must be intense. With so few aid slots, he cannot afford to miss on any recruit. An impossible task to ask of any coach.

I thought this was a no-brainer week until somebody said "pards are playing better," "a let down for crusaders," and the unbelievable "Pard D decent." Nah, this is not difficult.

HOLY CROSS @ LAFAYETTE
Holy Cross - I haven't been keeping up on the 'saders, but the Pards are playing with no QB, very few linemen worth a bucket of warm spit, bad linebacking, and a lack of talent up and down the roster. They do not look like a team that could beat the Sisters of Mercy at this point in the season.

LEHIGH @ GEORGETOWN
Lehigh - The Hoyas are basking in their 3 win season and 2 League wins. Their work is done. The Squawks are thinking coronation and could have a hiccup or two, but you won't know by looking at the final score. This will be over early and often.

COLGATE @ BUCKNELL
Colgate - The 'gates really are not what everyone thought they would be. The Buffaloes, on the other hand, are exactly what we've expected since about game 3 when it was obvious that the coaching change would have no immediate effect. A laffer.

33-16 (67%)

Before they reorganized this thing it was all about money, so why not. Under the old system the top 4 seeds were guaranteed a home game. Beyond that, you purchased a home game by submitting a "bid" to the NCAA. There was no "merit" involved in the assignment of these games, and I assume that the greedmeisters in charge haven't changed anything other than the number of games and therefore the number of checks they can cash. Have you ever thought that Delaware and Montana must indeed be meritorious - or downright lucky - because they ALWAYS get home games? No, they have large stadiums and can guarantee a sellout, so the NCAA says "Come to papa and bring your checkbook."

If Lehigh wants to submit a bid and feels that they can put enough fannies in the seats to justify it, I say again, why not?!

Having seen the Crusaders firsthand, I think this game with Lafayette will be a close one. 34-17 was not that close as we played a pretty sloppy game, including stopping ourselves with a number of stupid penalties. I think Lafayette will be able to move the ball, as will the 'saders. I see a high scoring affair if the weather allows: Lafayette 38-34.

Bucknell has been one to pull of the big upset in recent years. Still, I cannot go against Biddle and Co. Raiders 31-20

Lehigh will be very focused and the score may not reflect the game as I suspect Coen to substitute liberally in the second half, though when travelling, it is difficult to do. Lehigh 45-17.

Last week I was 3-0 to go 36-13 on the season.

I agree wholeheartedly, but I'm having a hard time envisioning who Lehigh would outbid. A 7-4 Richmond team? No way. A 9-2 Liberty team? Please. A 9-2 South Carolina State team? Extremely unlikely. 7-4 Georgia Southern? Chatty? UMass? Yeah, right.

I could see Lehigh outbidding a Robert Morris, maybe, a Stony Brook or a Dayton/Jacksonville type team, but not a lot of others.

Of course, a 4-7 Lafayette team or a 4-7 Georgetown team could still be thinking of the autobid, too. Don't laugh.

3-0 last week, up to 27-22 for the season, looking to keep going for a strong finish

Holy Cross at Lafayette Holy Cross This is the one I'm not too sure about. I could see Holy Cross stumbling on the road after taking a tough home loss to Lehigh. I could also see Lafayette pulling it together for one big effort prior to the Game. But I probably won't. Crusaders put it to a bad Leopard team

Lehigh at Georgetown Lehigh The League title now firmly in their grasp, Lehigh looks to finish strong heading to the postseason. Georgetown, they of the strong start, now find themsleves playing out the string on another ultimately disappointing campaign. Only possibility for an upset here is the Hawks looking past G'town after their big win in Worcester and towards the Game with Lafayette. Don't see that happening

Colgate at Bucknell Colgate Speaking of playing out the string on an ultimately disappointing season, Colgate looks to keep on pace for another 7-win season down in Lewisburg. Sullivan played last week, winning his final home game, but did not appear to be 100%. I wonder if at some point we'll see the Raiders shift focus to next season, at least as far as quarterback is concerned

This is, I suppose, the Lafayette silver lining. "It used to be worse" is our version of "at least you have your health." Pretty soon we will be comforted by an onslaught of academic awards. Frankly, I don't care if they're as dumb as chipmunks. I want to beat Lehigh!

I don't think anything favors a team with a 9-2 record from the PL. Our conference - particularly this season - was extremely weak. If Lehigh had beaten UNH or Nova, it would be a different story. And if 'Gate had beaten Syracuse, I would have died and gone to heaven ;-)

A" non controversy" at qb a bit of a misnomer. Really it is non feasance at qb so far this year. I can understand Tavani's win for seniors outlook, but Pards are not winning so why not look at a qb that could play next yr?
Still think LC can win this week IF they can just get serviciable play at qb. D is solid enuf to keep game competitve if no Offensive implosion.

All I can say is if O'Neil was healthy all year and not battling multiple concussions, Lafayette would be a very different team this year. You could put that on the back of the "O" line and bad pass protection or something, or the fact that Penn and Harvard are two teams with great "D" lines, but a healthy O'Neil is by leaps and bounds your guys' best chance of winning on any given Saturday.

Quilling just has been a huge dud. It happens. If I'm Tavani, I almost certainly go with Shoop and see what he brings to the table. Quilling has had his chance, and couldn't get it done. But quite frankly I'd be a lot more concerned about the kid's health. If O'Neil is healthy for Lehigh, I wouldn't hesitate to start him, with Shoop as the backup. But is O'Neil OK?

Do you watch the games or just look at the scores? Not a valid statement because (A) O'Neil may be the best of a bad lot, but that does not make him good - or even adequate; and (2) Tavani is looking down the bench at a talent void, some of it, at least, of his own making.

Oh yeah, where do the "multiple concussions" come from? More evidence that you are reading and not observing. Paul Reinhard of the Allentown Morning Call printed this a few weeks ago and then retracted it. O'Neil had one - count 'em, one - head dinging, and it was never, to the best of my knowledge, diagnosed as a concussion. His other injury, suffered in the Georgetown game, was a hyper-extended knee. I'm not sure if this changes the general thrust of your statement, but it brings the facts into question.

Certainly you, carney, have to admit at a bare minimum that O'Neil probably wouldn't be throwing 3 1/2 picks per game, which is my unscientific approximation of the number Quilling seems to loft to the opposing DBs per game.

I have watched a decent amount of Lafayette football, largely thanks to the magic of ESPN3, but I also watched part of the Harvard debacle, too. I've watched Quilling do his best Darryl Lamonica impression - not very successfully - and I've seen O'Neil, and to me O'Neil seemed like the sharper guy in terms of instincts, passing zip, etc. Admittedly the "multiple concussions" bit of information comes from my reading up on the Leopards (the Morning Call and Express-Times), so if they've retracted something, I didn't know about it. Your information on O'Neil, carney, is duly noted. Shoop, of course, I know nothing about, and I never professed to.

Whatever the injuries, though, clearly O'Neil hasn't been 100% all year, with at a bare minimum two different injuries and every week, it seems, a "gametime decision" as to whether or not he can go.

Let us agree on two things and drop this matter because I detect a bit of self-indulgent priming and baiting on your part for next week's encounter.

1. O'Neil is better than Quilling. There seems to be little doubt. Marc, however, seems to have a Svengali-like hold on both Frank and the Morning Call's Paul Reinhard who should be more objective. They both love him, but his performances do not yield an answer as to why.

2. We agree to disagree on O'neil's potential. Injuries notwithstanding, you seem to view him with a higher ceiling than I.

As for sophomore Andrew Shoop who continually gets lost in this under center shuffle, he is Lafayette's only hope, IMO, of extracting the Pards from their quarterback sewer. He came in the door with credentials at least as good as Lehigh's Lum, Colvin and Bialkowski. Coming out of High school, he got serious looks from Pitt and Penn State, and received an offer from Temple. He held out to the last, expecting (hoping) that he would get the scholarship that Pat Devlin left behind at Penn State when he transferred to Delaware. The knock on Shoop has always been that he is an interception machine. Not a good comment when it comes to a quarterback. In any event, it apears as bad management to me that we have not seen much of him, and there are only two games to go in his sophomore season. If he has anything - and it is hard to believe that he could be worse than what we've seen so far - two full years of his eligibility have been wasted.

Oh yeah, O'Neil has indeed been close to 100% for most of this year. Penn and Fordham, the week after taking a knee to the helmet in the Stony Brook game, were the only games where your assessment may have been correct. It has only become a "game time decision" as you call it in the last two weeks since the coaching staff lost confidence in him at Bucknell.

Watching the interesting ping pong match between Carney and LFN. I am more than puzzled by O'Neill. I think his 'regression' is such that people assume he is injured to some degree (sort of the same mindset with Chase Utley when he's slumping). If Frank is looking future versus this year, then Shoop is the way to go. Might as well find out what you got before finishing your recruiting. Practice doesn't tell you. Getting thrown in against Holy Cross and Lehigh will certainly either reveal a diamond in the rough or possibly destroy his confidence if the OL doesn't protect. If Frank is still trying to finish a 'respectable' 4-7 (if there is such an animal having experienced that number last year), then I think he goes with O'Neill to show he can still do the job, as Quilling has shown he is nothing more than a back up.

Publically, you don't want to throw your seniors under the bus and send the message that this year is already history. That would have serious repercussions on the team's psyche going into the last two weeks. At the same time, I agree that if he could pull a rabbit out of the hat and win the last two games, it would be a heck of a springboard for 2011 (not too dissimilar from Lehigh's strong finish last year to end up 4-7). Maybe he can put a feeler out to J.B. Clark??:D

It has only become a "game time decision" as you call it in the last two weeks since the coaching staff lost confidence in him at Bucknell.

It seems like we're completely on the same page about the QB situation right up to the point that O'Neil is benched in the Bucknell game in favor of Quilling. "O'Neil doesn't appear hurt", Paul Reinhart said in his gameday blog on the matter, but he did get touched for a loss and a fumble in his last appearance in that game. The fumble, too, was converted into points and cut the deficit to 9-7, so Tavani probably (correctly, in this case, since they won) benched him and put Quilling in, who gave him a better opportunity to win the game. When Quilling did well, he earned the start vs. Colgate - where he didn't do well at all.

And yet, O'Neil didn't play too terrible in the Fordham game right before Bucknell. No turnovers aside from the final drive - 51% completion percentage wasn't awesome, but at the same token he also didn't hurt them with turnovers, either.

I guess I'm just mystified as to why Tavani/Reinhart has all this confidence in Quilling overall over O'Neil under any circumstances. Injury could explain it - and it's the most convenient explanation - but it could be something else, I suppose. I dunno, I look at the numbers and O'Neil screams to me to be the starter (10 TDs, 5 INTs, 64% completion percentage) over Quilling (4 TDs, 8 INTs, 50.7% - not a typo - completion percentage). When you add to it the fact that most of Quilling's "great numbers" came against Bucknell, they become even more suspect.

Doubtful.. I don't think they started naming MVPs for THE GAME until the 1950's or '60's and by then the "ease of movement" between schools that had been abused around the turn of the previous century no longer existed. I know there was a great player in that era who played not only for Lehigh and Lafayette, but, I think, Penn as well!! I'll see if I can do some research on that in my 'spare' time.

That's part of it, but the play calling has also become very predicatable and the talent gap that Georgetown faces relative to other PL recruits is magnified once offensive line injuries set in.

A 3-8 finish is not out of the question.

I'm hoping 'Gate can score 50 :-)

I never thought so, either...but their QB is unpredictable. Would like them to win but don't think they'll put up 31 points.
Lafayette 23 Holy Cross 21

Lehigh 34 Gerogetown 6 - Lehigh punches their ticket to the playoffs after a 6 year hiatus.
Congrats to Mountain Hawks - they should put on quite a show. Sports Network has them traveling to Montana for the playoffs :-)
Lehigh 38 Georgetown 13

Go 'Gate!

Holy Cross 41, Lafayette 10 - I've seen these two teams, and I don't see how the Leopards win this game. Honestly.

Colgate 55, Bucknell 10 - Ditto.
