17 total TDs), DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (19 TFL, 8 sacks), LB Austin Calitro (83
tackles)The Skinny -- Saint Francis, the Northeast Conference co-champ, is
appearing in the FCS playoffs for the first time. Standout free safety/kickoff
returner Lorenzo Jerome (seven takeaways) is the teams most talented player, but
hes playing with a partially torn MCL. With the way Villanova limits opposing
offenses, coach Chris Villarrials squad will seek Marcus Bagley carries and the
downfield ability of Lewis to set each other up. Senior Lance Geesey gives the
Red Flash an edge in the kicking game as hes made 57 field goals in his career.
This is the 12th playoff appearance for retiring Nova coach Andy Talley, who is
11-10 all-time in the postseason, winning one FCS championship (2009) and
reaching the semifinals in two other seasons (2002 and 2010). His Wildcats like
to control opponents behind the rushing of Bednarczyk and RBs Aaron Forbes (745
yards), Javon White and Matt Gudzak, and a physical defense that ranks third in
the FCS in average yards (265.1) and points (14.9) allowed per game. Safety Rob
Rolle has six interceptions, the most in CAA Football, while NFL prospect
Kpassagnon was just named the conferences defensive player of the year.Up Next
-- The winner plays at No. 8 seed South Dakota State (8-3) in the second round
Dec. 3.Prediction -- These teams have two common opponents (Albany and Towson)
and Saint Francis lost to both and Villanova beat both. Quite simply, the
Wildcats are a higher-level team. Villanova 28-14.
