(STATS) -- Whether it occurred on offense, defense or special teams, the first-round winners in the FCS playoffs were opportunistic.Home for the holidays meant something as seven of the eight hosts won on Thanksgiving Saturday, with San Diegos upset at Cal Poly the exception. Six of the games were decided by double-digits.Heres a first-round review:---=NCAA FCS PLAYOFFS=SATURDAY, NOV. 26FIRST ROUNDVillanova 31, Saint Francis 21Story Line: Quarterback Zach Bednarczyk passed for 254 yards and three touchdowns and the Wildcats defense totaled six sacks and held the Red Flash to 27 net rushing yards on 22 carries.Game Ball: Nova tight end Ryan Bell picked the right game to haul in a career-high 110 yards, turning two of his five receptions into touchdowns.Key Stat: Bell (110), running back Matt Gudzak (117) and wide receiver Jarrett McClenton (115) each had over 100 yards from scrimmage.The Takeaway: The Wildcats are motivated by their desire to keep retiring coach Andy Talleys final season going. They feature a good mix of run and pass on offense and a defense, led by CAA Football defensive player of the year Tanoh Kpassagnon, that is one of the best in Talleys tenure.Up Next: Villanova (9-3) will play at No. 8 seed South Dakota State (8-3) in the second round Dec. 3 (3 p.m. ET)---=Chattanooga 45, Weber State 14Story Line: Chattanoogas playoff experience was on full display as it put the game away by halftime, 24-0. It was the sixth time this season they didnt allow a point in the first half.Game Balls: The 1-2 backfield punch of quarterback Alejandro Bennifield (three total touchdowns) and running back Derrick Craine (160 yards, one touchdown) controlled the action.Key Stat: The Mocs forced five turnovers, the most in over five years. They scored on two of them -- Montrell Pardues 99-yard fumble return and Trevor Wrights 41-yard interception return.The Takeaway: The Mocs have opened play in three straight playoffs with dominating wins. The last two years, theyve lost their second game on the road. This year, theyll need a superior defensive effort to overcome Sam Houston States top-ranked offense.Up Next: Chattanooga (9-3) will play at No. 5 seed Sam Houston State (11-0) in the second round Dec. 3 (3 p.m. ET)---=New Hampshire 64, Lehigh 21Story Line: New Hampshires seniors led the way. Quarterback Adam Riese passed for a career-high 273 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for one score, while running back Dalton Crossan ran for 184 yards and scored three TDs. Cornerback Casey DeAndrade had nine tackles and an interception on the games opening drive that set up Crossans first touchdown, a 5-yard run.Game Ball: Riese has had a secondary role in the starting lineup, but with starting quarterback Trevor Knight injured, the senior co-captain lifted his game.Key Stat: Lehigh had an FCS-low eight turnovers entering the game, but committed four as its nine-game winning streak ended.The Takeaway: The Wildcats looked like a team making their 13th straight appearance in the playoffs. That postseason experience gives them a chance as they head to the road for a rematch against CAA Football champion James Madison.Up Next: New Hampshire (8-4) will play at No. 4 seed James Madison (10-1) in the second round Dec. 3 (2 p.m. ET)---=Wofford 15, Charleston Southern 14Story Line: Lorenzo Long rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns and the Wofford defense made winning plays in the tightest matchup of the first round.Game Ball: With Wofford clinging to a 15-14 lead, cornerback Devin Watson intercepted two passes in the fourth quarter, including one in the final 2 1/2 minutes at his teams 29.Key Stat: The Terriers avoided mistakes, as they didnt commit a turnover and had only one penalty in their fifth straight win.The Takeaway: With 28 seniors, coach Mike Ayers team has an intangible thats huge in the postseason. Their defense has yet to allow a 100-yard rusher heading into their rematch with Southern Conference champ The Citadel, once again the FCS rushing leader.Up Next: Wofford (9-3) will play at No. 6 seed The Citadel (10-1) in the second round Dec. 3 (6 p.m. ET)---=Richmond 39, North Carolina A&T 10Story Line: Having lost its eighth starter -- quarterback Kyle Lauletta -- to a season-ending injury last weekend, Richmond answered the adversity with a dominating effort in all three phases of the game, especially special teams.Game Ball: Quarterback Kevin Johnson, who had been in a redshirt season, played well in his first career start. He passed for 315 yards and a touchdown and rushed for a score.Key Stat: Richmond limited N.C. A&T running back Tarik Cohen, the MEACs all-time leading rusher, to 70 yards from scrimmage and forced his first fumble after 528 straight touches without one.The Takeaway: The Spiders were considered one of the main contenders for the national title going into the season. Despite all the injuries, they have senior leaders who have won in each of the last three playoffs, so they wont be fazed by going on the road to North Dakota. Theres no reason, they played at North Dakota State last postseason.Up Next: Richmond (9-3) will play at No. 7 seed North Dakota (9-2) in the second round Dec. 3 (6 p.m. ET)---=Central Arkansas 31, Illinois State 24Story Line: Central Arkansas overcame a 17-7 deficit after three quarters by scoring 24 points on its first four possessions of the fourth. Antwon Wells 4-yard touchdown run with 1:28 remaining was the game-winning score.Game Ball: UCA special teams. George Odum blocked a punt that teammate Jakari Dillard returned for a touchdown in the first minute of the fourth quarter, sparking the UCA comeback. After the Bears went ahead 21-17 with 9:51 left, they recovered an onside kick which resulted in a field goal.Key Stat: Illinois State was dropped for negative yards 10 times, including two sacks by defensive end Chris Chambers and one by nose tackle Terrence Partee.The Takeaway: After getting picked apart by Sam Houston States FCS-leading quarterback Jeremiah Briscoe in their regular season finale last Saturday, the Bears were adequate against Illinois States emerging Jake Kolbe. But they will need a stronger effort against Eastern Washingtons high-flying attack led by quarterback Gage Gubrud and wide receiver Cooper Kupp.Up Next: Central Arkansas (10-2) will play at No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (10-1) in the second round Dec. 3 (4 p.m. ET)---=Youngstown State 38, Samford 24Story Line: Youngstown States first playoff game in 10 years was a rousing success as the Penguins rushed for 289 yards and five touchdowns.Game Ball: Running back Jody Webb rushed for a career-high 174 yards and two touchdowns, including a 62-yarder. He finished with 276 all-purpose yards.Key Stat: The Missouri Valley Football Conferences No. 1 rushing offense kept pounding away to the tune of 38 minutes, 58 seconds in time of possession.The Takeaway: Coach Bo Pelinis squad might have a deceptive home/road split -- 7-0 at Stambaugh Stadium and only 2/3 on the road. But it includes games at West Virginia and the three other MVFC playoff teams (North Dakota State, South Dakota State and Illinois State), so the Penguins appear ready to take their shot at Jacksonville State.Up Next: Youngstown State (9-3) will play at No. 3 seed Jacksonville State (10-1) in the second round Dec. 3 (2 p.m. ET)---=San Diego 35, Cal Poly 21Story Line: San Diego avenged a 38-16 loss to Cal Poly on Sept. 10 and earned the Pioneer Football Leagues first-ever win in the FCS playoffs.Game Ball: Fifth-year running back Jonah Hodges was the workhorse on a sloppy track, carrying the ball 35 times for 171 yards and three touchdowns.Key Stat: Hodges outrushed what had been the FCS top-ranked rushing attack and the Toreros limited Cal Poly to 195 yards, nearly 300 below its average.The Takeaway: This was a glorious game for the PFL as the Toreros played like, well, the seasoned veterans that they are under coach Dale Lindsey, whos led three league champions in four seasons. Having moved into the STATS FCS Top 25 for the first time this past week, the national ranking appears well-deserved.Up Next: San Diego (10-1) will play at No. 1 seed North Dakota State (10-1) in the second round Dec. 3 (3:30 p.m. ET) Sean Wotherspoon x Air Max Jan-97 Hybrid LT BLUE FURY/LEMON WASH For Sale .

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. ATHENS, Ga. -- Davin Bellamy isnt ready to give up on Georgias season.Sure, theres no more talk of contending for a championship, and the honeymoon is definitely over for rookie coach Kirby Smart. A home loss to Vanderbilt has a way of turning everything sour.But Bellamy, a junior outside linebacker, said the Bulldogs are eager to make a good impression the rest of the way.Youve still got that `G on your helmet, he said. Youve still got your last name on your back. Youve still got the family you build with your fellow players. And no one wants to give up on each other like that.Make no mistake, its a season on the brink after the shocking 17-16 loss to Vanderbilt two Saturdays ago.Georgia (4-3, 2/3 Southeastern Conference) has dropped three of its last four games, already matching the number of losses in each of the final two seasons under former coach Mark Richt. And it could be worse -- remember, the Bulldogs barely held off FCS school Nicholls and needed a fourth-down touchdown pass in the final minutes to knock off Missouri.With a remaining schedule that includes Saturdays game against No. 14 Florida, plus No. 15 Auburn and Georgia Tech down the road, Georgia faces the possibility of its worst showing since a 6-7 mark in 2010.Then again, a victory over the Gators (5-1, 3-1) could quickly turn things in the right direction.Smart is hoping the Bulldogs finally put together a complete performance Saturday in Jacksonville.I want to play our best game in all facets of the game, being able to be balanced on offense and being able to control the line on scrimmage on defense and play well in the kicking game, he said. Weve got to be able to do all three, and some of them have hit on all cylinders at all different times. We need them to hit all at the same time, especially when youre playing a defense of this caliber.There are areas of concern all over the field, from an offense still struggling to establish its identity to a defense that misses far too many tackles to special teams that was largely responsible for the Vandy loss.Freshman quarterback Jacob Eason is a convenient symbol of the teamms uneven play.dddddddddddd He threw for only 29 yards in a victory over South Carolina -- the worst showing for Georgias passing game in more than a quarter-century -- but followed with a career-high 346 passing yards against the Commodores.Or one could focus on the running game, which should be a major strength with Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and a couple of promising freshmen backing them up. Indeed, the Bulldogs nearly had three 100-yard rushers against the Gamecocks, only to be held to just 75 yards overall by Vandy, barely averaging 2 yards per carry.Smart figures the Gators are going to stuff the box and dare Georgia to beat them through the air, relying on the dynamic cornerback duo of Teez Tabor and Quincy Wilson to shut down the receivers in one-on-one matchups.Itll be interesting to see how they play us in some personnel groupings, be interesting to see how they play us outside, said Smart, whose team was off last week. Do they have respect for our receivers? I dont know. They dont usually. They just let their guys go play on an island.Smart is a defensive coach at heart, but that side of the field has been equally perplexing. Certainly, he doesnt put much stock in the Bulldogs largely shutting down South Carolina and Vanderbilt, two of the leagues worst offenses.Weve tried to simplify and play fast and get guys to play the right way, he said. The numbers have shown that thats been a help, but weve also probably played guys that were not as good offensively.Florida has dominated Georgia the last two seasons, including a 27-3 blowout in 2015 that effectively finished off Richts long tenure as the Bulldogs coach.If we were to win this game, receiver Isaiah McKenzie said, it just shows that we have a good team and we are capable of playing with anybody in the SEC.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
