The Swami speaks on why Penn may beat Villanova

 

[Disclaimer: Swamis is an exercise where The Daily Pennsylvanian’s editors make jokes and pick the Ivy League football games. Enjoy]

It’s been a long time since Penn defeated Villanova. Like a really long time. In fact, it’s been more than 37,000 days.

Over the course of the last 103 years, we’ve seen Penn transform, from a team coached by John Heisman and actually mattered on the national football stage to a team playing Ivy schools exclusively and taking pride in Playboy rankings.

Since Penn loves lists and rankings, here’s a selection of our 103 reasons why Penn will beat Villanova...

1. Al Bagnoli. What a guy.

10.  Heisman hopeful Alek Torgersen

16.  The miniscule chance that Villanova quarterback John Robertson mysteriously goes missing.

20. The toast toss distracts Villanova while Dan Davis manhandles its offense in the second half.

47. Mitch King turns out to actually be royalty, declares dominion over all the Big 5.

77. The magical Swamis stop trying to predict football games and use their powers for something important, like winning football games.

87. The remix to Ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen. Ryan Kelly running those post routes, got all the cornerbacks missing.

99. Connor Loftus wins an epic special teams duel pregame with Nova’ kicker. Game declared over right then.

103. It’s opposite day. Penn doesn’t beat Villanova?

PREDICTION: Villanova 14, PENN 5
