Week 4 Review
Worcester, MA: Last week, Villanova came up short against an IVY great. This week was a completely different story. Not even three minutes into the game and Russell Williams hit David Long on a 13 yard pass play that resulted in a touchdown. Holy Cross would answer though. A 5 play, 80 yard drive, led by Dan McCoy put the Crusaders on top, 14-13. However, that would be the last time that Holy Cross touched the scoreboard. Villanova on the other hand, answered again, and again, and again. The Wildcats cruise 36-14.
Cookeville, TN: A week after almost pulling off an upset that would have shaken FCS football, Morehead State received a test from Tennessee Tech. In the 2nd quarter, Jesus Meyer threw one to Jeremy Garrett for 28 yards and the touchdown, putting the Eagles up 14-0. But before the half could end, Tennessee Tech would answer after a big pass from Jerry Lyon to Robert Fitzgerald, cutting Morehead State's lead to 7 at the half. The Golden Eagles kept it up and scored early in the 3rd to tie the game at 14 a piece. They weren't done either. Jerry Lyon hit Robert King and King took it 33 yards, and to the house, giving TTU a 21-14 lead. With just a minute to go, down by ten points, David Skinner threw a bullet to Jeremy Garrett for the touchdown. Despite recovering the onside kick, Morehead State was unable to score and Tennessee Tech gets a big win, 24-21.
Washington, DC: A battle of elites ensued in the nations capital. Neither offense was able to budge until three minutes to go in the half. That's when Georgetown's William Stein threw a bomb to Christopher Rivera for 58 yards. On the next play, William Fitzgerald ran for 30 yards and Hoyas found their way to the end-zone, taking a 13-3 halftime lead. In the 3rd quarter, the Rattlers would answer. Robert James threw it to Walter Perry, and Perry took care of the rest, gaining 68 yards and getting the touchdown. But the Rattlers couldn't garner any thing else offensively. Georgetown gets the win, 16-10.
