[quote quote=28036]Bit of perspective – go back and look at our own predictions. We out performed them. Could only listen, but heard plenty of good stuff: WRs got the ball in their hands to make plays, and Dom got back on track. Still feels like we need to threaten deep more – but hard to say with no eyes on it.
Biggest question, for me, to those who saw it: did we adjust better to their attack on the edges? Seemed to hear a lot of sweeps and passes into the flats.
Agree that moral victories are BS – but it sounded like BIG improvements over last week. True?

I watched the entire thing…
I thought the game pretty much went to script. Lehigh put forth a solid performance but in the end it wasn’t good enough. The defense has improved in a PPG department through the first games but it’s still extremely shaky. Villanova is so-so on offense but still shredded the defense for 396 yards rushing. Their QB completed 6 passes for 56 yards.
The offense had its moments. Bragalone and TP were excellent imo. The OL in general played well too. Shaf was solid but once again rather unspectacular. That INT near the goal line was terrible and he missed badly on a couple throws. The miss on Casey on the deep fly out hurts. Casey had he guy beat by 3-5 yards. He was efficient with those quick slants and had some nice runs.
Penn is up next. There’s a good chance the Quakers are better than Villanova this year imo. Lehigh be the underdog again next week and rightfully so. I haven’t seen anything through two games that leads me to believe they’re ready to step up and win. Dating back to Colgate last year Lehigh has lost 3 out 4 games where they failed to get it done the last few minutes of the game.
The league in general did not have a good day. 0-3 against the CAA and a Bucknell loss to NEC Duquesne.
