Del Val leads King's 14-0 at the break.  Touchdown passes to Mike Baranyiak and Jeff Sheffield for the Aggies.

Aggies' defense bends but doesn't break in the second half and the offense adds two more scores.  Jake Sheffield finishes with 155 yards (95 receiving, 60 rushing) and Matt Cook runs for 100 in the victory.

Delaware Valley 27
King's 0

Albright over FDU - 28-14

Wilkes over Leb Val - 35-10
Widener over Lyco - 41-0 

fwu,

It is time to come clean on this week's prediction, at least as far as Lycoming is concerned.

The final score was 16-14, and had it not been for a questionable ineligible receiver downfield call that negated a 3o yard gain for Lycoming the score might have been in the Warriors favor.  I know about what might have been - but 41 - 0 ?

Widener luckily escaped the Warriors who do not seem able to catch a break in close games this year having lost three now by a total of less than ten points.

I guess is must be the fault of the facilities, the location of the campus, or recruiting as other posters have been so happy to point out previously. 

Or, perhaps, the league is finally more competitive and Lycoming's past dominance served as a goad to motivate other programs towards self-improvement and we are seeing the fruit of those efforts.

It's generally considered poor form to complain about someone's predictions if you aren't willing to put yourself out there and make your own.

Pat,

Fair enough, but if you had the week I had you might have a different take on my time for making predictions.

Still - 41 - 0 is nowhere even in the same galaxy.

Pat Coleman

Still smacks of sour grapes and 20-20 hindsight.

Funny, from my read of this board over the past many years, I thought that was part of the genre.

Also, no mention of the hard-luck losses Lycoming has taken against Ursinus, Susquehanna and now Widener - all by margins of three.

A field goal differential means the game was so close it was very possibly decided on one play, O-D-Special teams or a penalty.

Odd that you went to the other area of the posting and not the more substantive aspect.

Pat Coleman

Not at all. I've made that same post many times in the past eight years. Someone who doesn't have the guts to put his picks out there for criticism shouldn't have the privilege of criticizing someone else's.

You're implying the dominant programs are still playing at a high level. The MAC's out of conference record suggests otherwise — and what we're seeing is parity.

Lyco -

My prediction of WU 41 - Lyco 0 was made in jest.  If you noticed, WU lost to Rowan 41-0 just one week ago.  I thought it was funny when I wrote it.

FWU,

Thanks for the clarification on your post.

Not sour grapes really, but an assessment that the games are closer than most might think - the parity matter previously mentioned in another thread. 

As for the smack down, since I explained that it was lack of time that prevented me from posting anything relative to the game or the predictions I fail to see where guts has anything to do with the matter.  I have plenty of guts and brains.

However, I do reserve the right for some credit since I have managed to stimulate quite a bit of to and fro from a posting thread that, this season, has been unusually quiet.

I understand you said you were busy this week. I don't see a Lyco prediction for any of the previous weeks either, however.

Again, sour grapes.
