The Delaware Valley Aggies (9-0) survived a big road test against the Lycoming Warriors (7-2), 28-21. Lycoming scored with just 61 seconds to play to tie the game at 21-21, on a 1-yard touchdown run by Zach Klinger.
The game appeared headed for overtime, but the Aggies intended to finish the job in regulation. Chris Wisniewski took a short kickoff at his own 38-yard line, and returned it 8 yards to the Delaware Valley 46-yard line. Aggies quarterback Aaron Wilmer connected with Rodney Blango for 16 yards to the Lycoming 38-yard line. Two plays later, Wilmer again found Blango for 15 yards on a key 3rd-and-10 play.
After a 15-yard pass play from Wilmer to Lewis Vincent, Wilmer ran the ball in from 8 yards out to score the winning touchdown with just 13 seconds remaining.
The gutty victory by Delaware Valley on the road solidified my belief that this is the best team in Eastern Region. The Aggies have a huge home game next Saturday with Widener (8-1), with the MAC title on the line. If the Aggies finish the job with back-to-back wins over strong teams to win the title, they will be a clear #1 seed and battle tested for the playoffs.
Congratulations to Delaware Valley, ranked #1 this week by d3east-football.
