First Quarter: Towson 7, Villanova 0

Let me preface this post with a personal anecdote, the last time Towson's led Nova, I was a freshman in College and Jermon Bushrod was a Tiger (not a Saint)

The Good: Towson's defense came out tonight with something to prove. They're physically matching up with Nova in a way that I've never seen before. Villanova is a quicker, stronger team. But like all teams, they've had a share of mental errors. Towson's D has been able to stand up to them physically (not outmatch, just stand up) and expose a few of those errors, holding the Wildcats scoreless.

The Bad: The offense is not clicking like they did last week. Enders 47-yard touchdown to Booker was a great play. But his receivers are not getting open, and when they are he's not making the right reads. Part of that is because the O-Line is not facing a middle of the pack MEAC team, they're playing the 20th best team in the country.

The Ugly: Open field tackling. How many times can this defense bend and not break?
