Good list. RI/nova should be a good one from which we can gauge how they fare in this wind. Really breezy here in Newark....steady 18-20+ and just had a gust that must have been in the mid/upper-30s.

Hasn't been raining here for quite some time.

Supposed to be some sprinkles coming through soon, but the rain bands are pretty scattered. Plenty of wind, though.

Sprinkles came and went...just a few drops. Sidewalks/driveways are dry.

A shame we didn't have a good old fashioned 1:00 kickoff

Def could have dogged this with earlier start time. Looks like heavier rain at game time. I’ve been around a while I don’t see many of our fans coming or at least should I say stay very long if it’s pouring unfortunately. It was supposed to be band day and I assume that’s been canceled. The band is already off the schedule for pregame parking lot etc.

Rhode Island at Nova should be a good one, Hen fans should be pulling for the smallest state in this one

Will Monmouth beat Laffy? Should be close

Maine will get some Maine weather treatment on the road down in The Burg today. The Tribe is not exactly clicking like last year though

Campbell at Elon - will the talented Camels get over the hump in the CAA?

Richmond visits dreadful Stony Brook in a game only the parents can watch

nova up 14-0 start of 2nd period. They are tossing the piggy a bit and breaking some long runs.

The Nova QB has run for more than 100 yards and 3 TD's in the first half.

Rhody missed the bus for this one or something. Kinda an early kick for a road team in bad (I presume, from what it looks like) conditions, but down 21-3 at half is pretty inexcusable. As we know, that Villanova QB can run--that'll pay off in the winds. 'Cats also said to be winning it up front. Gut check for URI right now; it could have been a worse score than the 18-pt margin.

Villanova has been penalized eight times for 55 yards, but it hasn't mattered: Wildcats are outrushing the Rams 143-7. 0.6 YPC for Rhody... Four Ram first downs

Respectfully disagree. Monmouth by plenty. Hawks will be ready to run it on the 'Pards.

Most underrated game of the day in the league. That Camel offense is humming. Elon is a good test as far as being a respected CAAFB opp. Also, it's Elon at Campbell, not the other way around. Just to clarify :D

Weather hasn’t bothered Villanova too much. They’ve had some big plays and have almost 300 yards of total offense in the first half.

Rhody looking overwhelmed.
