Looking back on the A10 South

In my earlier Blog (scroll down) we looked at 2006 in the A10 North. It's time to review the other division.

South

James Madison 7 1 .875 9 3 .750
Villanova 5 3 .625 6 5 .545
Towson 4 4 .500 7 4 .636
Delaware 3 5 .375 5 6 .455
Richmond 3 5 .375 6 5 .545
William & Mary 1 7 .125 3 8 .273

James Madison---- The Dukes dominated the A10 South. Their reward for going 9-3 was to be shipped out for the first round of the I-AA playoffs. Mickey Matthews was not happy . Four Dukes players were AP All-Americans . The JMU plays North Carolina in 2007. The Duke's complete '07 Schedule is here .

Villanova--- The Wildcats were the surprise of the A10, taking the A10 South second place outright. Villanova won six of their last eight games. Wildcat senior QB Marvin Borroughs had a great senior season . The Wildcats beat JMU and beat Delaware .

Towson --- The newcomers to the A10 were in competition for a playoff slot right until the last game of the season . Their QB Sean Shaefer threw for 3,000 yards in 10 games . Just what the A10/CAA needs --- another team that goes 8-3 every year.

Delaware --- It was a unhappy season for the Blue Hens who finished under .500 for only the third time in 19 seasons. Their TE David Patrick will play in the East-West Shrine game . The 2007 Delaware schedule is here .

Richmond --- Good things may be comming for the Spiders as their freshman QB Eric Ward was named the A10 Rookie-of-the-Year . Our old Friend Stacy Tutt is now playing fullback for the Jets . The Spiders had one of I-AA's best wins by dominating Duke . But then Richmond lost four of their last five.

William & Mary--- Not much went right for the Tribe in 2006 . The NCAA is making them change their athletic logo . They did have the best graduation rate in the A10 . The Tribe's 2007 schedule is here .
