Sophomore guard Nico D'Angelo is doubtful with a high ankle sprain. The Villanova o-line was already down three starters from last year.

Talley on playing FBS schools: "The advantage of it is obviously the financial aspect of it. Everybody does it in 1-AA to make a paycheck."

Talley: "I've played enough 1-A teams to not want to play any more 1-A teams." Prioritizes seasonal team success, health.

Talley on the unbalanced formations and trick plays SU head coach Scott Shafer expects from VU: "I guess I just don't see that one."

That's about it from Talley. Also mentioned the difficulties of playing in the Dome, uncertainties with a new punter and kicker this year.

This is signficant as the O line was already a question mark for Nova going into the game. Novas strenght is really as a running team if we can jam them up and force that QB to throw we should be in decent shape. I know there are some big question marks on there D line as well. Could be a big opportunity for Gulley or Morris to make a statement.
