CoWlecg THE NEWS JOURNAL MONDAY, NOV. 24, 1997 Delaware, Villanova could meet in the mountains i'JS'r'Jr. rsssrg rrr "I'd be lying if I said we wouldn't like to have another shot at Villanova. But right now we can't be looking beyond Hofstra. Delaware QB Brian Ginn 'A -m.

By TOM TOMASHEK Stall reporter NEWARK If you're hoping to attend a rematch between the University of Delaware and Vil-'. lanova in the Division I-AA Cham-" pionship Tournament, you might get your wish. But be prepared for a December journey to Chattanooga, for the opportunity. The NCAA seeded Villanova first and Delaware fourth in what could have laid the foundation for "a Delaware Valley football classic. But the selection committee, de-parting from the bracketing in its manual, placed the two schools in opposite halves of the 16-team 5ield.

t- Villanova (11-0) and Delaware (10-1) met last Sept. 13 in Delaware Stadium, where the Wildcats ral-; lied for a 35-25 decision before more than 18,000 frenzied specta-! 'tors. Even 'Nova coach Andy Tal-I iey, though not particularly fond of playing Delaware a second time, found the prospect exciting. "It would be one of the great matchups of all-time. It would be I for college football in this -area," Talley said Saturday after completing an undefeated regular season.

"And it would be wonder-', ful that it would be right here we'd have a chance to put in "bleachers, oush the capacity to win. But the selection committee decided to change the format and put members of the same conferences in different halves. In addition to splitting Delaware and Delaware, the committee set apart Gateway entrants Western Illinois and Youngstown, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference members Florida and Hampton and Big Sky peers Eastern Washington and Montana. Dennis Pope, the NCAA's direc-. tor of championships, said that early in tournament history, the NCAA received criticism for placing members from the same conference too closely.

He said his association responded to the complaint and did so without having to abandon the pure bracketing process. But he said that with four leagues each qualifying two teams, the committee had to break significantly with tradition. Players from Delaware and Villanova said they like the idea of a rematch, but realize that the format change diminishes the chances of another meeting. "I'd be lying if I said we wouldn't like to have another shot at Villanova," Delaware quarterback Brian Ginn said. "But right now we can't be looking beyond Hofs-tra." Delaware coach Tubby Raymond wasn't so concerned about the prospect of being moved away from Villanova, but being moved so close to some of the field's toughest teams.

He thought the Blue Hens deserved a higher seed, considering that their only loss was to undefeated Villanova early in the Speoal to The News JoumaVTOM NUTTER Tubby Raymond is swamped by reporters Sunday after being told his Blue Hens will play Hofstra in the first round of the Division I-AA football tournament SLO (10-1, Bucknell (10-1), Dayton (9-1), Liberty (9-2), South Carolina St. (9-2), Northeastern (8-3), S.F. Austin (8-3) and Eastern Illinois (8-3). Strength of schedule played against Cal Poly, Bucknell, Dayton, Liberty and S.C. State.

Eastern lost its final game 49-7 to Eastern Kentucky and the committee just couldn't justify taking a third team from any league the major setback for Northeastern, overlooked despite leading undefeated Villanova until midway through the fourth quarter. "The Villanova loss was definitely the determining factor," Pope said of Northeastern's plight. "It was a quality loss, a top game, but the eight members voting were faced with a great deal of parity and there were some very, very good 8-3 teams and even some ex- season. If fourth-seeded Delaware defeats Hofstra, the Blue Hens could wind up drawing Southern Conference champion Georgia Southern, which was a four-time champion in I-AA going back in the 1980s. If Delaware gets past the quarterfi-' nals, they face the prospect of facing McNeese or Montana.

But Pope explained why Delaware, an at-large pick from the Atlantic 10, was placed No. 4. "Given the factor that Delaware was the runner-up in its league," he explained, "the committee decided that there were several other conference champions more deserving of a higher seed." Delaware finished behind Villanova, 10-1 Gateway champion Western Illinois and 10-1 Big Sky champion Eastern Washington. But they also finished ahead of 10-1 champion Southland champion-McNeese, 10-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Hampton and 9-1 independent Western Kentucky. Among the teams finishing just beyond the bracket were Cal Poly- News Journal fileSUSANL GREGG The Blue Hens will hope to avoid landing on their heads if they meet Villanova in the NCAA Division I-AA Championship.

The Flying Dutchmen are 5-1 against A-10 foes, with their only loss a 35-31 decision against Connecticut. Delaware enters its 10th Division I-AA tournament with a nine-game winning streak, going back to its' 35-25 loss to Villanova.

But the Blue Hens, who had an open date Saturday, were lackluster in their 24-19 victory two weekends ago at Lehigh. "We have to put that Lehigh game behind us and get ready for what's ahead," Delaware captain Dorrell Green. "But certainly we have to make a much better showing against Hofstra than we did against Lehigh. "This is going to be a much more intense game than we've played in this season, but that's the way it always is in the playoffs." The Blue Hens could have had a more desirable first-round opponent. Delaware has been one of the A-10's easier marks against the pass this season, giving up 228 yards per game, and what Hofstra does best is throw the ball.

The Flying Dutchmen are led by quarterback Giovanni Carmazzi and six receivers who have from 18 to 82 catches. Carmazzi, a transfer from the University of Pacific, after the Division I-A school dropped football, has completed 70.6 percent of 408 passes for 3,554 yards and 27 touchdowns.

cepted only eight times. "I can't think of many quarterbacks we've faced in my years at Delaware who have thrown the ball that much and had that high of a completion rate," Raymond said looking back over 32 years as the Blue Hen head coach. Raymond's staff went immediately to work with the film exchange after the NCAA announcement. The films were broken down Sunday night by graduate assistants Josh Mastrangelo and Mike D'Martile, and Blue Hen coaches will begin formulating a game plan late today. The Blue Hens practice schedule will be intensified Monday through Wednesday.

They will be dismissed Thursday for Thanksgiving Day dinner. Then Friday, they'll be put through a final walkthrough.

"Having a game at home is a big advantage." But Villanova could be facing an offensive equal in 16th-seeded Colgate (74, 6-0), who captured the Patriot League title with a 48-14 victory over Bucknell.

"They are a very good football team," Colgate head coach Richard Biddle said.

"We're both capable of putting points on the board, and it should make for an interesting contest." Villanova and Colgate have played each other only once, a 20-14 Red Raiders win in 1978. Kickoff is scheduled for noon. Associated Press VILLANOVA, Pa. Villanova will begin its postseason by hosting Patriot League champion Colgate in the opening round of the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs Saturday at Villanova Stadium. Villanova (11-0, 8-0), the top-ranked team in Division 1-AA, rallied for 23 points in the final seven minutes of Saturday's 49-35 victory over Northeastern to capture the Atlantic 10 championships.

Villanova, which rallied from deficits in its final three games, notched its first undefeated season since 1938. "Our kids are excited about it," Villanova head coach Andy Talley said. "We've been in playoff-type situations the last couple of games. Things haven't gotten any easier because team are gunning for us. We've responded time after time." It will be the fifth trip to the playoffs for Talley, whose clubs were previously eliminated in the opening round.

The Wildcats' high-powered offense will be led by sophomore quarterback Chris Boden, who became the first Villanova quarterback to throw for more than 2,700 yards in a season.
