Patriot League Pick 'em - Week 2

[carney2]

WEEK 2

Some highs and some lows in Week 1, but few real surprises.

Only two day games this week. Patriot League football has changed, hasn’t it?

Elizabeth City State* @ FORDHAM
BUCKNELL @ Duquesne
GEORGETOWN @ Marist
Delaware @ LAFAYETTE
LEHIGH @ Villanova
HOLY CROSS @ New Hampshire

Bye: COLGATE

*Trivia question for Patriot League eggheads: Exactly where is Elizabeth City and what state is it in? If you look it up, you are disqualified and … well … no soup for you.

GAME OF THE WEEK: BUCKNELL @ Duquesne – Bucknell’s OOC schedule is always loaded with cupcakes. This may have looked like just another pastry when it was scheduled, but the Dukes now appear to be a cut above their brethren in the NEC. If Bucky is going to turn the corner and make their presence felt in the Patriot League, this is probably their only chance to show it before League play begins.

ANOTHER GAME OF NOTE: GEORGETOWN @ Marist – Is this a test for the Hoyas?

Fordham Easily Dispatches Liz City, 52-21

Duquesne reminds people they are good, 31-13 over Bison

Georgetown might need an insulin shot, they dispatch Marist 30-24

Delaware can run, Lafayette won't be able to stop the run, Blue Hens win 30-7

Lehigh keeps it closer than folks think, but can't beat a great team, Nova wins, 31-24

Holy Cross is better, but won't be able to keep up with UNH, Wildcats 44-24
