(STATS) -- Senior Day at Villanova will take on a whole new meaning this year.When the Wildcats honor their graduating class prior to Saturdays showdown with fellow CAA Football powerhouse James Madison, theyll also pay tribute to the only coach the program has known since being reinstated in 1985.Theres still a real chance this wont be the last time Andy Talley walks off the Villanova Stadium turf, however, and the No. 9 Wildcats (7-2, 5-1) would make a playoff home game a virtual certainty if theyre able to knock off the high-powered Dukes and win next weeks rivalry game at Delaware in the regular-season finale. A sweep would give the retiring 73-year-old one more cherished parting gift -- at least a share of the conference title.Im pretty excited about the game, said Talley, wholl hand over the reins to longtime assistant Mark Ferrante at seasons end. Thank God its at Villanova.JMU (8-1, 6-0) has plenty to play for as well, perhaps more.Sixth in the STATS FCS Top 25 and fourth in the FCS selection committees latest rankings, the Dukes appear to have the inside track on securing home-field advantage through the quarterfinals of the playoffs, which theyll receive the CAAs automatic bid to if they win Saturday.The Dukes will have earned it, having already beaten three teams (Richmond, New Hampshire, Maine) residing in the conferences upper half -- all on the road.Weve attempted to build this team from back in January to be a physical, hard-nosed football team, because those are the kinds of teams that win on the road, those are the kind of teams that win late in the season, coach Mike Houston said. I think our identity has changed, its changed pretty drastically from last year. I think thats certainly helped in those road venues.That toughness was fully evident a week ago, when JMU twice overcame a second-half deficit to outlast Richmond in a 47-43 thriller and end the then-No. 6 Spiders 11-game home winning streak.Despite the daunting assignment of facing two straight top 10 opponents on the road in as many weeks, Houston isnt overly concerned about the possibility his team could be mentally drained off such a grueling game.Certainly there was a lot of emotion in that game. That being said, its on to the next opponent, he said. Thats kind of been our motto each week and all throughout the year, and I think the players have done a really good job of that. Theyll understand the whole deal. I expect that theyll be completely dialed into a very, very good Villanova team.Houstons more pressing worry is solving a Wildcats defense thats among the stingiest at the FCS level. The unit, anchored by NFL prospect Tanoh Kpassagnon (34 tackles, 16 TFL, 7.5 sacks), ranks third in the subdivision in both total yards (268.0) and points (14.9) allowed per game. Villanova has yielded only one passing touchdown and four offensive scores over the last five games and came up with four interceptions in last weeks 26-7 win at Maine.They have maybe the best player in the league with (Kpassagnon), hes a great player, Houston said. Theyre what you expect when you think of Villanova football. I think that weve got our work cut for us to move the football.Talley shares the same fears about a JMU offense thats been close to unstoppable all season long. Second only to No. 1 Sam Houston State in points per game (49.1), the Dukes have gained at least 430 yards in every contest and put up 31 points or more against each of its FCS opponents.Weve got to be able to take some time off the clock and keep the ball out of their hands, Talley said. Richmond got in a shooting match with them, and Richmond has the kind of skill set to do that. I dont think we have the kind of skill there. I think were going to have to keep the game in the teens or low 20s to have a chance.Talley can take some comfort in his quarterbacks recent performance. Now fully over a concussion sustained last month, Zach Bednarczyk completed 23 of 31 passes for a career-high 326 yards and three touchdowns in the Maine win. The sophomore appears back in top form heading into an intriguing matchup with counterpart Bryan Schor, whos hit on a remarkable 79.2 percent of his throws for 858 yards and 12 touchdowns with no interceptions over a three-game roll.It just doesnt matter for either of these guys. It could be rain, sleet or snow, and theyre going to perform, Talley said. Theyre both real good at finding people on the run, especially Bryan Schor. Hes done a great job with that. I must have watched the JMU-Richmond game five times and continued to be amazed with how long he keeps plays going. I think its a matchup of two really, really good quarterbacks and two football teams that are on a hard charge.Bednarczyk rushed for a career-high 157 yards and two touchdowns in last years meeting with JMU, but committed four turnovers -- two of which the Dukes returned for touchdowns in a 38-29 victory in Harrisonburg.The home team has won six straight in the series, with the Dukes last winning at Villanova in 2008.

The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were sorely missed throughout the game during their 2016 injury absences.But perhaps none more so than by Novak Djokovic, his?coach has suggested.Novak is a competitor at heart -- if I have one guy who has to play for my life, I would pick Djokovic. Thats how much I trust him, Boris Becker said in an interview with CNN. But he didnt have any opponents anymore. His time was with Nadal, with Federer.The Serb swept all before him in the first six months of 2016; after winning the Australian Open and titles at Qatar, Indian Wells, Miami and Madrid, Djokovic completed a career Grand Slam by beating Andy Murray in the French Open final in June.However, Murray managed to overturn a gap of more than 8,000 points to leapfrog Djokovic as No. 1 in the rankings by the end of the Paris Masters earlier this month.Andy was always the fourth guy, so [Djokovic] lost a little bit of his opponents, added six-time major winner Becker. Murray is showing something he hasnt shown before.The Scot claimed the year-end No. 1 ranking by crushing Djokovic for his first World Tour title Sunday in London. Djokovic and his camp were frustrated and disappointed, according to Becker, after the SSerb committed 30 unforced errors in a straight-sets defeat.ddddddddddddThis could be possibly a turnaround for Novak Djokovics 2017, said Becker. As much as this loss is going to hurt him, its probably going to inspire him to be remotivated, re-energized for next year. Maybe it was a good thing in the end.Becker believes Djokovic was guilty of playing a bit casually in Shanghai and Paris but paid tribute to Murray, who won both tournaments during a personal-best win streak encompassing five titles and 24 matches.?His pinnacle was winning the French Open and winning four majors in a row, Becker said. Naturally, his motivation was a bit off afterwards. He really didnt know what the next big goal would be. And then a guy called Andy Murray didnt lose another match the whole indoor season.People only talk about Andy Murrays last six months but youve got to give him credit -- he was in the final of the Australian Open, the final of the French Open, he won Olympic gold. He really turned on the form when he had the sniff of the No. 1 ranking, and he was the better player.
