JMU @ New Hampshire
With Towson losing to Delaware a week ago, JMU now has an opportunity to win the CAA. While New Hampshire enters this game 2-6 and has no shot at a post-season, this is a talented team that had high expectations at the beginning of the year.

Norfolk State @ NC A&T
The Spartans offensive woes continue as they have scored a total of 9 points in the past three games. They've gone from having a real chance to win the MEAC to MEAC bottom-dweller. NC A&T meanwhile is ranked 17th and is the favorite to win the conference.

Villanova @ Richmond
The last time Richmond won less than 4 games in a season was 2011 under interim coach Wayne Lindeburg. He was not given the full time position. With an opportunity to get a key win against Elon, the Spiders were yet again outplayed. Nova got off to a 3-1 start which included a win against Temple. Both programs are in desperate need of a win.

Liberty @ UMass
Liberty has certainly surpassed their preseason expectations, some media outlets are even projecting the Flames to reach a bowl game. For that to happen though, they absolutely have to beat UMass. One stat that should excite Liberty fans is the Minutemen do not run the ball well...at all, and currently rank 116th in the nation in rushing offense.

Boston College @ Virginia Tech
Justin Fuente's offense has completely stalled over the past 3 weeks. Despite Ryan Willis throwing for over 700 yards during this stretch, the Hokies have averaged just 24 points per game. If they want to get back in the win column, the offense has to improve this week.
