Saw Liberty game on ESPN3. Reflecting on the game it has to go down as one of the greatest in Nova football history. The defensive team fought like the fictional Rocky Balboa to shut down a good offensive team that had taken out excellent opponents, Coastal Carolina and JMU. This time the defense had to erase 4 weather created Villanova tunovers. Except for the short field Ist Q TD caused by a 72 yd. Liberty kickoff return the defense held their own, stopped every Blazer drive and holding them to 3 Field Goals and only 67 yds rushing. The leading heros were Paris, Shockley, Cherry, Calitro, Harman and Sarnese but every man on the defense did his part.
As for the offense what more can be said about Robby and his crew fighting off some of the worst weather I or anyone could remember. The pride and teamwork of this diverse group of student athletes reflects the intelligence, training and effort that will stand each man in great stead for the rest of their lives. They are a great example to the Villanova community. Hopefully with better weather the community will turn out and show the team the respect it deserves. It is far past time for one outspoken apparent alumni, who probably couldn't beat his sister at arm wrestling if he is lucky enough to have a sister, to stand down and recognize the accomplishments of Villanova's Band of Brothers or at least stop annoying those that do.
