Friday Fact of the Week

Fact:

2018 Opponent's Points Per Play (Thru Week 6)

1. Del Val: .309
2. FDU: .338
3. Stevenson: .341
4. Widener: .361
5. Lycoming: .371
6. Leb Val: .462
7. King's: .490
8. Wilkes: .506
9. Misericordia: .555
10. Alvernia: .556
11. Albright: .849

Reaction:

FDU is a surprise as few would expect their defense to be playing statistically well. Other's such as Misericordia seem to be pulling out wins through offensive excellence. Albright is just purely surprising for how poor their season has unfolded as they could possibly go winless. There is no surprise with four of the top five teams traditionally proving to have strong defenses. This week's group of games could have a few defensive slugfests if these numbers are any indication.

Too close for comfort, Del Val, but nice 23/16 Homecoming win over Lyco!

[Graham8020]

Too, too close... everyone is susceptible to an off day, you just hope it's not your QB. Lol.

Thanks so much to the powers that be here on D3 sports for the great article on the Nobile twins, Anthony and Michael, playing for Del Val!   Two great defensive players and i'm glad that they're both Aggies!!!

Huge hat tip to Gordon Mann, who focuses on D3hoops.com content but put me onto this great storyline.

[gordonmann]

My pleasure. I'm looking forward to another 3+ years of Nobile Brother highlights.  Nickname suggestions are welcome.

The Bruise Brothers

[gordonmann]

Ooh! Bruise Brothers! I like that one!

[gordonmann]

I like the A&M reference too, though it took me a second to get it.

A refrain from a bad disco song from the 70's or 80's (and an ode to where the Nobile's...........and half of the Aggies roster seems to be from, Brick, NJ)

"Well they're a Brick, House. The Nobile's are mighty, mighty, just lettin it all hang out. They're a brick, house".

Now I have to YouTube the song!!

For the sake of sanity and civility, let us please not have political partisanship in our posts. We had more than enough of that six years ago. 

Warren with the long memory of the old days around here...    LewDogg, Gro, Regulator, etc..   I remember thy person that you speaketh and reference of...      (Rowan fan if memory serves me right...)

I know there are still a few more games left to be played in the regular season, but in the event Misericordia and Del Val tie for 1st place, who advances to the D3 playoffs?  Would they play a tie breaker game, fuzzy math, or a shake of the magic 8Ball?

[Pat Coleman]

The tiebreaker for that situation would be whichever team played the tougher conference schedule, measured by the records of the teams they beat in the conference. It would basically come down to whether Stevenson outperformed FDU-Florham.
