The Andy Talley era isn’t over yet thanks to a dominant Wildcats performance Saturday afternoon at Villanova Stadium. Villanova jumped out to a 31-7 halftime lead and then managed the clock in the second half to secure a 31-21 win.
Villanova started strong after receiving the opening kickoff, sustaining a drive to the Saint Francis 6-yard line before stalling out. Gerard Smith made a 24-yard field goal to make it 3-0.
The ‘Nova defense kept the momentum going with a 3-and-out, and Bednarczyk and the offense quickly went to work to extend their lead. Aaron Forbes finished off a drive aided by a roughing the passer penalty with a 4-yard touchdown run.
