One of 3 invitees. Vad Lee of JMU finished 4th. The Eastern Washington QB, a redshirt Jr. is favored with Robby and Idaho State's QB competing for runner-up honors. Unlike some, I thought Robby's season was very good but not spectacular after he broke his left hand in the opener at Syracuse. As Robby himself said, he couldn't use his left hand to fend off tacklers until the cast came off late in the season. So what could have been 100 yard rushing performances were reduced to 60-80 yard games. And then there was the 10-9 stinker at Richmond. I like Robby's chances in 2015, and, provided we find a go-to reveiver to replace Poppy (Gulyas?), a kicker, and Lucas fully recovers, I like VU's chances of reaching the Finals in 2015. This year I will be happy with an Elite 8 or Final 4 finish. But focusing on the matter at hand, I think Cats caught a break with Liberty, a grinding offense as opposed to JMU's go-go style of play. Our DBs had best be on their A game. A timely interception or 3 would go a long way toward neutralizing what I assume will be Liberty's gaudy passing yardage total. And we should plan on matching their FG's with our TDs. Its dangerous to go into the playoffs without a kicker, but here we are.
