HEAD COACH ANDY TALLEY
Fighting For A Cause — Talley’s Fight For Bone Marrow Donor Program
A
way from the football field, Villanova University head football coach Andy Talley is actively involved in numerous community programs, but foremost among his efforts has been the National Bone Marrow Donor Program. Nationally, the odds are one in 20,000 of finding bone marrow donors for those with life-threatening blood diseases, such as leukemia. For members of the African-American community, the odds are even worse – one in one million. Talley’s involvement in this national campaign began in 1992 when he raised over $10,000 to determine the blood type of 200 individuals, with Villanova football studentathletes and his coaching staff serving as the foundation. As a result of his success, in 1993 he secured a $60,000 grant and organized the “Football United for Life” campaign, which attracted over 950 potential bone marrow donors. That group included a large number of student-athletes, primarily from the Villanova community, but also from many other Philadelphia-area college football programs. Now in his 18th year of association with the bone marrow donor program, Talley continues his annual spring drive to get people tested and
typed into the national registry. Since 1992, Talley’s efforts have resulted in over 19,500 potential donors being successfully tested and entered into the registry. In April 2010, Talley and the Wildcat football program held a bone marrow testing program in which over 700 possible donors were tested. In 2009, Talley started the “Get In The Game and Save a Life” national bone marrow registration campaign. Talley enlisted 30 college football programs from all levels to take part in this campaign. Over the last two years, the group has tested over 16,000 potential donors. “I am very proud and excited about what this group has accomplished,” said Talley. “A special thanks goes out to all of the dayto-day and behind the scenes individuals for all of their support. Most importantly, a special thanks to the football players who went out and got the job done.” For further information on how you can
be a part of the National Bone Marrow Donor Program, contact the Villanova Football offices at 610-519-4105.
MATT SZCZUR MAKES BONE MARROW DONATION TO YOUNG PATIENT WITH LEUKEMIA
A
s a freshman at Villanova three years ago, baseball and football player Matt Szczur joined the registry of the Be The Match foundation during a drive hosted on campus. Szczur was identified as a match for a leukemia patient several months ago and recently underwent a procedure to donate peripheral blood cells to a 19-month old patient he has never met. “I was extremely excited when I found out that I was a match for a patient,” Szczur said. “When I joined the donor registry I never in a million years thought that I would one day be a match. It is a terrific feeling to have successfully completed the procedure. I was just happy to have this opportunity and I know that anyone else would do the same thing I did if they were given the chance to save someone’s life.” Thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases need bone marrow transplants and depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a donor. For a successful transplant, a patient needs a matching donor.
Although there are more than 20 million registered donors, there are still only a few hundred matches found each year. “There is no doubt in my mind that the procedure is going to be successful for the patient,” Szczur said. “I whole-heartedly believe that she is going to be okay and hopefully one day I will be able to meet her and her family. In my heart, I just know that there is a great family out there and it was an honor to have the chance to help a little girl. I can’t wait for the day when she is well enough to come to one of my games and see me play.” In preparation for making his donation, Szczur took medication which caused him to miss 10 games during the baseball season. He still wound up leading the team in eight different offensive categories for the year, including batting .443 with a .487 on-base percentage and a .667 slugging percentage. He tallied 13 doubles, seven triples and four home runs and became Villanova’s first .400 hitter since 1997.
15
For his efforts, Szczur was named a first team All-BIG EAST selection as well as an All-East Region pick. Szczur is a two-sport star at Villanova who earned All-America honors as a football player in 2009. He helped lead the Wildcats to their first-ever national championship, as Villanova defeated Montana by a score of 23-21 in the title game of the Division I Football Championship. Szczur ran for a career-high 159 yards against Montana and racked up 270 all-purpose yards on the way to being named MVP of the championship game for his performance. Villanova football coach Andy Talley is in his 18th year of association with the bone marrow donor program and continues to hold testing drives to get people entered into the national registry. This year’s drive was held last April and resulted in more than 700 people joining the registry. Since 1992, Talley’s efforts have resulted in nearly 20,000 potential donors being successfully tested and entered into the registry.

(5-9, 190 lbs.). In three games last year, he completed 2-of-3 for 17 yards and a touchdown. A savvy performer, Culicerto has a good grasp of the Wildcat offense. Villanova will also be bringing in two freshman signal callers in Chris Polony (6-3, 210 lbs./ Whitehall, Pa.) and John Robertson (6-1, 200 lbs./ Paramus, N.J.).
ead coach Andy Talley and the Wildcats will have big shoes to fill as Villanova prepares for the 2011 season. Talley must replace 12 starters, 10 All-Conference performers, 17 lettermen, two first team All-Americans and a second round NFL draft pick. Last year’s senior class combined to lead Villanova to a 40-13 overall record, three straight NCAA playoff appearances, the 2009 National Championship and back-to-back trips to the national semifinals. Talley is well aware of the accomplishments of his departing seniors, but he is confident that his talented returning players are up for the challenge of helping Villanova be a factor in the 2011 CAA standings
Running Back
Quarterback For the first time in four years Villanova will have an inexperienced signal caller, as the Wildcats need to replace Chris Whitney who graduated as the program’s all-time winningest quarterback (34-10 career record as a starter). Whitney finished his Main Line career fourth in school history in passing yards (6,241), eighth in rushing yards (2,160) and fourth in total offense (8,401). Whitney also possessed outstanding intangibles including leadership ability, toughness and a fearless style of play. The odds on favorite to be the team’s starting quarterback is redshirt freshman Dustin Thomas (6-0, 200 lbs.). A good athlete, Thomas can beat you on the ground or through the air. After seeing time in the Lehigh game in week two, Thomas suffered a severe illness that forced him to miss the rest of the season and help him earn a medical redshirt. Thomas finished his high school career at St. Augustine Prep as the career

touchdown leader in both South Jersey and Cape Atlantic League history. In addition, he ranks second all-time for career passing yards in South Jersey history. The only other returning quarterback on the roster is senior walk-on Christian Culicerto
Villanova will need to replace its top two running backs from a year ago. The terrific duo of Aaron Ball and Angelo Babbaro combined last year to register 1,322 rushing yards, 297 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. Ball finished his career second all-time in school history in rushing with 2,916 yards, while Babbaro recorded 1,373 rushing yards. As a sophomore in 2008, Ball became just the third back in Villanova history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Senior Lawrence Doss (5-7, 195 lbs.) is expected to earn the starting nod in the Wildcat backfield. Doss has been productive in limited duty throughout his Villanova career. In 31 career games, Doss has carried 95 times for 432 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and four scores. In addition to his running ability, Doss is also a very good receiver out of the backfield. Redshirt freshman Austin Medley (5-11, 190 lbs.) could also see time in the Villanova backfield. Medley redshirted last year due to an injury, but looks healthy and ready to go in 2011. Medley is a talented performer with shifty moves. As a senior at Delsea High School in South Jersey, Medley had 1,750 yards rushing and 35 touchdowns. The fullback spot will be occupied by sopho-

2011 Season Preview more Ransford Quarrie (6-0, 250 lbs.). As a true freshman a year ago, Quarrie saw significant playing time as the year went along. A physical player, Quarrie is a good blocker who also has the ability to be a factor in short yardage situations.
Wide Receiver Villanova will have to replace one of the most dynamic players in school history in Matt Szczur. Despite missing seven games with an ankle injury last season, Szczur finished the year with 28 catches for 240 yards and three touchdowns and 63 rushes for 368 yards and four scores. As a junior in 2009, Szczur was a first All-American, the CAA Offensive Player of the Year, the CAA Special Teams Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player of the FCS national championship game. The Wildcats looks to have another star at wideout in senior Norman White (6-3, 205 lbs.). He earned first team All-CAA honors with a breakout year a season ago with 69 catches for 886 yards and 11 touchdowns. For his efforts, White was a first team All-CAA selection and has been named preseason first team All-CAA this year. White has the size and athleticism to be considered a legitimate pro prospect. Another playmaker at the receiver position for the Wildcats is junior Dorian Wells (5-9, 185 lbs.) who is a good route runner with soft hands. Last year, Wells finished second on the team in receiving with 37 catches for 554 yards and four touchdowns. Two other receivers who figure prominently in the team’s plans are senior Mikey Reynolds (5-6, 175 lbs.) and sophomore Joe Price (6-3, 200). Reynolds is a slot receiver who brings experience to the Villanova offense. Reynolds made 27 receptions for 279 yards and three touchdowns last year. Price has shown great improvement throughout his career and will provide Villanova with a big target at the receiver position. Price had seven catches for 71 yards last season. Two additional receivers expected to battle for playing time are junior Kenny Miles (5-11, 200 lbs.) and redshirt freshman Corey Reeder (6-1, 190 lbs.). Miles, who has good football instincts, tallied five catches for 69 yards last season. Reeder possesses a good combination of size and strength.
Tight End Sophomore Brennan Erbeznik (6-6, 260 lbs.) is the Wildcats only returning scholarship tight end. Erbeznik, who has always had good pass catching skills, has added strength and looks to be ready to handle the blocking aspect of the position as well.
Offensive Line Due to the combination of graduation and injury the Wildcats were hit hard along the offensive line. Villanova lost two great players to graduation in tackle Ben Ijalana and guard Brant Clouser. This duo combined to start all 53 of their Main Line careers. Ijalana was a three-time first team All-CAA player, a two time first team All-American and he was a second round selection of the Indianapolis Colts in the 2011 NFL Draft. Clouser was a first team AllCAA selection in 2010 and a third team honoree in 2009. The Wildcats will also be without the services this season of junior tackle Chidozie Ekweozor (6-6, 290 lbs.) who started all 14 games last season. Ekweozor suffered a knee injury during spring practice and will miss the entire 2011 campaign. Sophomore defensive end Rakim Cox is expected to be one The leader up front in of Villanova’s top pass rushers this season. 2011 will be junior center Dan Shirey (6-2, 280 lbs.) who started all 14 games a season ago and was the offensive line include sophomore Derek rewarded for his play by earning third team Schatz (6-2, 285 lbs.) and sophomore James All-CAA accolades.

2011 Season Preview loss, two sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble. Cox has the skill set to be a big time playmaker for the Villanova defense. Two other Wildcats in the mix for playing time along the defensive line are junior Joe Makoid (5-10, 255 lbs.) and sophomore Keelan Malone (6-1, 255 lbs.). Makoid is an intelligent player with a good feel for the game. Malone has a good combination of size and strength. Makoid will be a reserve at nose guard and Malone will see time at defensive end.
Linebacker Linebacker is the position that Villanova was hit the hardest by graduation. The Wildcats lost all three starters, including Terence Thomas, Marquis Kirkland and Anthony Johnson. Thomas and Kirkland were both first team All-CAA performers last year. Thomas started every game of his career and led the team in tackles in 2008 and 2009, while Kirkland paced the 2010 Villanova squad with a team-best 104 tackles. There will be a great deal of competition for starting positions and playing time at the linebacker position. Entering preseason camp the favorites to earn starting spots are junior Pat Haggerty (6-0, 230), junior Devon Bridges (6-0, 235 lbs.) and junior Delano Ferguson (6-0, 215 lbs.). Haggerty is coming off a great spring where he earned the Defensive Most Improved Player Award. He saw time on special teams last year and should see an expanded role this year. Bridges has a good combination of size and strength and could be ready for a breakout season. He played in 14 games last year and had 12 tackles, one tackle for loss and a fumble recovery. Ferguson, who missed eight games last
season with a wrist injury, is a good athlete with playmaking skills. Three other Wildcats who will push for starting spots or significant playing time include senior Jeremy Rodriquez (6-2, 225 lbs.), sophomore Tyrone Armstrong (6-0, 240 lbs.) and redshirt freshman Emeka Ndichie (6-0, 220 lbs.). Rodriquez has battled some injury issues throughout his career, but looks healthy and ready to go in 2011. He is an intense competitor with good football instincts. Armstrong is a big hitter who needs experience to make the jump to the next level. Ndichie is a good athlete with a great work ethic.
and redshirt freshman Shane Harris (5-11, 195 lbs.). Akins has all the skills necessary to be an All-CAA performer. In 14 games last season, Akins registered 54 tackles, four tackles for loss, two interceptions and four pass break-ups. Akins looks poised for a breakout year in 2011. Harris is a physical performer with a bright future. Look for Harris to continue to get better throughout the season as he gains experience and become a mainstay in the Villanova secondary. Sophomore Leighton Dennis (5-11, 170 lbs.) will also be in the mix for a starting spot. Dennis is a good athlete who can play both safety and corner.
Secondary
Kicking Game
Senior Jimmy Pitts (6-0, 185 lbs.) will be the leader in the secondary. As a junior last year, Pitts finished second on the team in tackles with 84 (61 solo) to go with three tackles for loss and a team-high tying three interceptions. Pitts was a third team All-CAA selection last year and he earned preseason first team honors this season. With Pitts handling the one corner spot, the other corner appears to be owned by sophomore Craig James (5-11, 195 lbs.) who received increased playing time as the year went along last season. James is a good athlete with excellent cover skills. After starting the last two years at corner, junior Eric Loper (5-10, 180) is moving to safety this season. Loper is a terrific athlete with a good feel for the game. Loper had 75 tackles last year and has four career interceptions to his credit. The other two safety spots look to be occupied by junior Ronnie Akins (6-0, 210 lbs.)
There will be a competition for the kicking job between junior Mark Hamilton (5-11, 175 lbs.) and junior Nick Yako (6-0, 215b lbs.). As a redshirt freshman in 2009, Yako made 12-of-16 in field goals and 59-of-60 in PATs. Last year, he was just 2-of-7 in field goals and 32-of-34 in PATs. Hamilton took over the kicking duties late last season and performed well. He finished the year 6-of-8 in field goals and a perfect 23-of-23 in PATs. His best effort came at Stephen F. Austin in the second round of the NCAA playoffs when he connected on four field goals. Hamilton is expected to be the team’s punter this season. The Wildcats lost Dominic Scarnecchia who handled the punting duties last year to graduation. Scarnecchia averaged 43.2 yards per punt last year and was named second team All-CAA. Hamilton punted five times last season for 231 yards for an average of 46.2 yards per punt.

our NCAA Championship game appearances in four years under the CAA Football banner and more than 47 percent of its games on television...quite a way to begin an era! CAA Football raised the profile of what was once the Yankee Conference and later the Atlantic 10 Conference when it took the reins of the league in 2007. Now four years into the CAA’s leadership the league has moved from one of the power conferences in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, to argubly the most successful conference in the division in terms of on-thefield success, television exposure, marketability and success of it players at the next level. The league’s marketability will only continue to grow as it adds Old Dominion to its roster in 2011, expanding further into the Tidewater market of Virginia, and later Georgia State, based in Atlanta, Ga., in 2012. Delaware pushed CAA Football’s streak to five-straight National Championship game appearances and seven in the last eight years. The league’s non-conference success was evidenced again last season by a 22-6 (.786) mark against FCS foes, while James Madison pushed the league’s win total to three over teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference in the last two years with an epic, 21-16, victory at nationallyranked Virginia Tech. CAA Football has won 10 games over BCS/FBS foes in the last five seasons and 19 contests against the upper level of major college football in the last 10 years. CAA Football continued its stronghold in the national polls, showing seven teams ranked over a nine-week stretch and a total of three teams at No. 1 during the 2010 season. Even more impressive was a four-week stretch from Sept. 20-Oct. 11 when league squads occupied five of the Top-10 spots in The Sports Network poll. An expanded NCAA Playoff field in 2010 allowed CAA Football to extend its streak to fourstraight years of four or more squads appearing in the postseason. Both Delaware and William and Mary earned Top-5 seeds, while Villanova and New Hampshire had to go on the road for their postseason openers. Delaware dispatched of Lehigh and New Hampshire won at BethuneCookman to set up an All-CAA Football matchup in Newark in the quarterfinal round. Villanova rattled off 40 unanswered points to come from behind at Stephen F. Austin and advance, while the Tribe struggled to stop the triple-option attack of Georgia Southern and fell to the Eagles in its postseason opener. Delaware and New Hampshire renewed a CAA Football rivalry in the quarterfinal round and a defensive battle ensued as the Blue Hens advanced giving the league a semifinalist for the fifth-straight year.
Villanova got a total of five touchdowns from Matt Szczur to upset top-seeded Appalachian State at The Rock and march into the semifinal round. Villanova could not regain its early lead on the road at Eastern Washington and fell to the Eagles, but Delaware forced five Georgia Southern turnovers which helped it advance to the 2011 NCAA Division I National Championship game for the second time four seasons. The Blue Hens dropped a 20-19 decision to Eastern Washington at the new home of the National Championship game, Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. The league has earned 75 total playoff berths, including 35 in the last 10 seasons. Getting into the playoffs isn’t where the success stops, as evidenced by 50 playoff wins since 2001. CAA Football has continued to make its presence felt at the national level by placing nine teams in the national semifinal round over the last five seasons, and advancing a team to the national title game each of those five years as well. Richmond’s National Championship in 2008 and Villanova’s 2009 title are the most recent championships for the league. In 2004, James Madison claimed the national championship with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team to reach the title game by winning three road playoff contests since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. Delaware rolled past Colgate 40-0 to capture the national championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in back-to-back years and CAA Football has done it twice (2003- 04 & 2008-09). Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998, beating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43. Along with the team accomplishments, the conference has accumulated numerous individual accolades. New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William and Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) all have won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) and defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009) each received the Buck Buchanan Award. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) have earned the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Rich-
68
mond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997 & 2009) have garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor. Success beyond the collegiate playing field can be measured in numerous ways. CAA Football has had 98 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 24 players have been selected in the draft over the last 10 years, including the league’s second-highest draft pick ever -- former Delaware Blue Hen quarterback Joe Flacco (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens). The league has also excelled in graduating student-athletes as 10 programs have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards over the last three years for ranking among the Top 10 percent of the FCS in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rating system. The CAA Football geographic footprint encompasses much of the East Coast with schools located from Maine to Virginia. Current members include Delaware, James Madison, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Old Dominion, Rhode Island, Richmond, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary, while Georgia State will join the fold as a full member in 2012. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operation control of the conference from 1997- 2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004.

Commissioner Thomas E . Yeager
T
om Yeager played a vital role in the addition of football to the CAA sports roster in 2007, and has continued the league’s leadership in building it into the top NCAA Division I Football Championship league in the country. The Allentown, Pa., native has been a guiding force and the only commissioner of the Colonial Athletic Association in its 26-year existence. Since the inaugural CAA Football season in 2007, Yeager has helped the league build a reputation as one of the most respected and well-run conferences in Division I. In just a short time at the helm, Yeager negotiated an enhanced television package for the conference which resulted in a significant increase in both the number of CAA Football games televised and the number of homes the games were broadcast to. He also implemented an aggressive marketing and branding campaign to promote the quality of CAA Football along the East Coast and throughout the country. After its record-breaking Inaugural season, CAA Football has followed suit by garnering national accomplishments in each of the last three seasons. The league placed a record-five teams in each of the NCAA Division I National Championships fields in 2007 and 2008. Delaware advanced to the 2007 National Championship game but fell to Appalachian State, while Richmond advanced to the 2008 National Championship game and helped the league garner its first championship under the CAA Football banner when it beat Montana, 24-7. The success from previous seasons carried over to start the 2009 season when Villanova, William and Mary, Richmond and New Hampshire all opened the season with wins over FBS/BCS opponents. Those same four squads advanced to the second round marking the league’s second-straight season with four wins in the playoffs’ opening round. Villanova advanced to the National Championship game where it took down Montana, 23-21, to earn its first-ever football National Championship. The Wildcats’ victory over the Griz gave CAA Football its second-straight National title and fifth title overall. The 2010 season had its share of highlights including James Madison’s victory over thennationally ranked FBS/BCS foe Virginia Tech, 21-16. The league against sent four teams to the NCAA Division I National Championships and CAA Football extended its streak of two of the final four teams in the NCAA Championships field for the fourth-straight year as Delaware and Villanova each advanced to the semifinals. Dela-
ware became the fifth-straight league team to advance to the National Championship game, but came up short to Eastern Washington. The CAA conducts championships in 23 men’s and women’s sports, with the conference rated among the top 10 nationally in many of them. In 2010-11, the CAA had 25 teams earn NCAA Tournament berths and 56 student-athletes earn All-America honors in 13 different sports. While his job responsibilities are far reaching, Yeager’s major duties include negotiation of championship, sponsorship and television contracts, representing the conference with the NCAA and supervising the 15 members of his staff. Yeager came to the conference office from the NCAA staff in Kansas City, where he was Director of Legislative Services. He joined the NCAA in 1976, spending five years as an investigator in the enforcement department. In 1981, he was promoted to Assistant Director of Legislative Services and in 1984 to Director. In addition to his duties with the CAA, Yeager is also actively involved with NCAA affairs. Currently, he is a member of the Board of Directors for the NCAA’s college football and men’s basketball officiating LLCs. Yeager recently completed a nineyear term -- three years as chair -- on of one of the NCAA’s most important committees, the Division I Committee on Infractions, which hears and assesses penalties for violations of NCAA rules. Previously he served as a member of the NCAA Coun-
69
cil and chaired the NCAA Interpretations Committee for eight years, in addition to serving on numerous other NCAA committees. Well respected by other commissioners, Yeager is also a former executive vice president of the Collegiate Commissioners Association and is chairing the National Letter of Intent Steering Committee. In April, 1994, the National Invitation Tournament recognized Yeager’s contributions to college basketball by selecting him as the “NIT Man of the Year” joining a prestigious group of past recipients including John Wooden, Bobby Knight and Vic Bubas. Yeager is a 1972 graduate of Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts. He holds a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a master’s degree in education (1975). As an undergraduate, he was a member of the gymnastics team; as a graduate student, he was an assistant coach for the squad. After earning his first degree, Yeager worked at the YMCA in Allentown, Pa. He then returned to Springfield as a teaching fellow on the physical education faculty. After receiving his master’s degree, he remained at Springfield as the assistant director of athletics for the 1975-76 school year.

illanova became a member of the Atlantic 10 Football Conference in 1997, ending a 10-year membership in the Yankee Conference when that league’s 50-year football legacy came to a close. Following the 2006 season, the 12 members of the Atlantic 10 Football Conference officially joined the Colonial Athletic Association. From 1997 through the 2006 season, the Atlantic 10 held the distinction of being the premier conference in I-AA football. The league produced national champions in both 2003 and 2004 and the 2006 season marked the 16th consecutive year that the A-10 received multiple postseason berths. In 2006, the conference automatic bid was awarded to Massachusetts after the team won the North Division with a perfect 8-0 league record. Massachusetts advanced to the national championship game, while both New Hampshire and James Madison reached the NCAA Tournament as well. New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos became the fifth player in the history of the league to win the Walter Payton Award, presented each year to the most outstanding player in I-AA. In addition, the league had 15 players earn All-America honors in 2006 and three were chosen to play in the East-West Shrine game. The 2005 season marked the 15th consecutive season that the A-10 received multiple postseason berths as New Hampshire and Richmond advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA playoffs. Eight teams appeared in the national rankings during the 2005 season and 13 different players earned All-America honors, including New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos, who was runner-up in the voting for the prestigious Walter Payton Award. It marked the sixth consecutive year that an Atlantic 10 student-athlete finished in the top three in the voting. In addition, Villanova’s Brian Hulea and Shannon James of Massachusetts were finalists for the Buck Buchanan Award, presented to the top defensive player in I-AA. For the fourth time in league annals, the Eddie Robinson Award was presented to a head coach in the Conference as Sean McDonnell of New Hampshire became the 19th recipient of the award in 2005. Presented annually by The Sports Network to the most outstanding coach in I-AA, McDonnell guided UNH to an 11-2 record and the program’s first-ever No. 1 ranking. He joins current head coaches Andy Talley of Villanova (1997) and James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999) and former Boston University coach Dan Allen (1993) as recipients of the Eddie Robinson Award, giving the Atlantic 10 the distinction of being the only league with three
current head coaches who have won the prestigious honor. In 2004, James Madison claimed the national championship with a 31-21 win over Montana and in the process became the first program to reach the championship game by winning three road playoff games since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. With Delaware registering the lone shutout in the 29-year history of the championship en route to capturing the 2003 crown, the Atlantic 10 became the first Conference to have two different teams win the title in consecutive seasons. Massachusetts defeated Georgia Southern, 55-43, to claim the 1998 title. What set the Atlantic 10 Football Conference apart from other leagues is that its success was not limited to select institutions. In 2004, Delaware and James Madison were joined in the 16-team playoff field by New Hampshire and William & Mary, giving the Conference a record four teams in the postseason. Moreover, Stan Bennett started at offensive tackle as a true all four teams advanced to the quar- freshman for the 1997 Villanova team that went 8-0 in terfinals, a first for any conference.

Bowl Playoff H istory 1937 Barcardi Bowl
1947 Great Lakes Bowl
Havana, Cuba • January 1, 1937 Villanova 7, Auburn 7
Municipal Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio • December 6, 1947 Kentucky 24, Villanova 14
Villanova’s history in bowl games began in 1937, when the Wildcats were invited to participate in the 1937 contest which eventually became known as the Bacardi Bowl. Not only was it Villanova’s first football bowl game appearance, but it was also the first bowl game to be played outside the United States. The ‘Cats opponent, Auburn University, had rolled up an impressive 7-2-2 record and had closed out the regular season with impressive wins over Loyola, 44-0, and Florida, 13-0, their fifth and sixth shutout wins of the season. Villanova, under coaching great Maurice “Clipper” Smith, piled up a sterling 7-2 record, and had earned victories over the likes of Penn State, Boston University, Detroit and South Carolina. Like Auburn, Villanova boasted of an outstanding defense, one that had recorded four shutouts and had not allowed any opponent more than seven points. Played in Havana, Cuba as the climactic event of Cuba’s National Sports Festival, the game almost never came to be because of a bloodless revolution led by Fulgencio Batista, who, over 20 years later, would be overthrown by Fidel Castro. Yet the game went on, and it was Auburn which flexed its muscles first in the contest. The Tigers mounted an offensive attack that saw the ball pushed to the Villanova 10-yard line. But the ‘Cats defense stiffened and took over the ball on downs. Unable to do much offensively, Villanova punted the ball away, and on the ensuing possession, Auburn put together its only scoring drive of the day. The Tigers broke the scoreless tie when halfback Billy Hitchcock broke through the Wildcat defense and rambled 40 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was good, and Auburn had a 7-0 lead. As expected, the defense of both squads continued to dominate play, and at halftime Auburn still held their lead. Midway through the third period, however, Villanova’s offense, behind the direction of Anthony Stopper, drove to Auburn’s 12- yard line, but came away scoreless after Auburn’s defense rallied to stymie the ‘Cats. Late in the fourth quarter, with time running out for the Wildcats, Auburn had possession of the ball inside its own 15-yard line. Facing second down and eight yards to go for a first down, Auburn mentor Jack Meagher called for a quick kick, a play Auburn had used successfully on a couple occasions in the first half. Shifting into the quick kick position at the Auburn goal line, Villanova’s John Wysocki and Valentine Rizzo blocked the kick, and lineman Matthew Kuber grabbed the ball at the two-yard line and went in for the touchdown. William Christopher kicked the all-important point after, and the Wildcats had gained a 7-7 tie.
Under the direction of Wildcat head coach Jordan Olivar, in 1947 the Villanova College football team ventured to Cleveland, Ohio for the inaugural Great Lakes Bowl. Their opponent was the Kentucky Wildcats. Paul “Bear” Bryant coached the Kentucky squad, who were led on the field by legendary quarterback Jack “George” Blanda. Villanova missed a golden opportunity to strike early when on the opening kickoff, Villanova’s kick rolled around on the Kentucky two-yard line and no Kentucky player seemed eager to grab the loose pigskin. As three Villanova players converged on the ball, Kentucky’s Blanda realized just in time that the ball was up for grabs, and quickly dove on the ball. Later in the first quarter, Kentucky moved the ball from Villanova’s 46 to the 16, and settled for a 27-yard field goal by Blanda on the last play of the first quarter, giving Kentucky a 3-0 advantage. The scored remained the same through the second quarter, but midway through the third quarter Kentucky’s Jim Howe took a pitch from Blanda and stormed past Villanova’s defenders for a 29-yard touchdown. Blanda added the extra point, and Kentucky took a 10- 0 advantage. Yet Villanova, behind the accurate throws of highly-touted quarterback Andy Gordon, marched back. Two plays into the fourth period, Villanova’s Ralph Pasquariello, carrying several Kentucky defenders on his back, rambled 11-yards into the endzone. John Siano’s conversion pulled Villanova within a field goal, 10-7. Later in the fourth quarter, Kentucky’s Jack Griffin broke through the Villanova line to partially block a punt, giving Kentucky excellent field position at the 25-yard line. Several plays later, Kentucky’s Bill Boller raced 25 yards for a touchdown, and after the Blanda extrapoint, Kentucky had cushioned its lead to 17-7. With time now against them, Villanova went to the air, but Kentucky’s Boller intercepted a Gordon pass and returned it 49 yards for another touchdown. Now trailing 24-7, Gordon returned to the air. First hitting Zip Zehler with a 38-yard strike, Gordon then connected with John Sheehan for a 13-yard touchdown pass. Yet in the end, this battle of the Wildcats was won by Kentucky.

1949 Harbor Bowl Balboa Stadium, San Diego, Calif. • January 1, 1949 Villanova 27, Nevada 7 For a second consecutive season, Villanova head coach Jordan Olivar led the Wildcats to a post-season football bowl game. Recording a 7-2-1 regular season, with impressive wins over Texas A&M, Miami, North Carolina State, and a tie with Kentucky, the ‘Cats headed west for the Harbor Bowl. Their opponent was Nevada, who was 8-1 and had recorded lopsided wins over Tulsa, Wichita, Fresno State and San Jose during 1948. A crowd of over 20,000 on an overcast and rainy New Year’s Day witnessed a dominating Villanova defense, and a fast-paced Wildcat offense, overwhelm Nevada, 27-7. The Wildcats got on the scoreboard early, scoring 13 first quarter points. First, Peter D’Alonzo dove the final three yards of a Wildcat drive for the day’s first score. Robert Polidor went the final four yards on Villanova’s second touchdown in the first quarter, giving the ‘Cats a 13-0 advantage. Neither team managed a score in the second period, but Nevada opened the second half by serving notice they were not about to quit. Tommy Kalmanir raced 66 yards for a touchdown, cutting the Wildcat lead to 13-7. Later in the third quarter, Wildcat end John Geppi drove another nail into Nevada’s coffin when he raced 80 yards for another Wildcat touchdown. Geppi would finish the game with 114 yards on six carries. Any remaining Nevada hopes for a comeback ended when D’Alonzo scored his second touchdown of the day on an eight-yard jaunt, giving Villanova a 27-7 lead, and their first bowl game victory.

Villanova University returned to post-season competition under head coach Alex Bell. Before what was then claimed to be the largest national television audience to ever view a football bowl game, Villanova put on an impressive display of rugged defense and potent offense en route to a 17-9 victory over Wichita in the 28th Annual Sun Bowl. The confidence of the Wildcats was evident from the start. Winning the coin toss, Villanova elected to kickoff, putting its defense, which finished the year ranked seventh in the nation, on the spot. Both teams’ defenses dominated the early play, and neither team could mount any kind of offensive threat. Taking control of the ball on Wichita’s 43-yard line late in the first quarter, Villanova quarterback Ted Aceto recorded the game’s first first down, and four plays later gave the ball to the ‘Cats overpowering fullback, Billy Joe. Joe rumbled into the endzone from 19-yards out to cap a seven play touchdown drive. Sam Gruneisen kicked the extra point, giving Villanova a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. The Wildcat defense continued to stymie Wichita, as the Shockers were kept deep in their own territory. But with five seconds remaining in the first half, Wichita finally got on the scoreboard on a 36-yard field goal. Gaining a 7-3 halftime lead, the Wildcat defense had held Wichita to just 87 total offensive yards. Kicking off to start the second half, Villanova got a big break when Richie Ross recovered the fumbled kickoff on Wichita’s 22-yard line. Seven plays later, Louis Rettino dove over from the two-yard line, Gruneisen kicked the extra point, and Villanova had expanded their lead to 14-3. The Wildcats weren’t through yet. Villanova’s defense continued its tough play, and the ‘Cats offense, after Wichita was forced to punt four plays later, drove the ball from its own 38 to the Shockers’ six-yard line and finally settled for a 26- yard field goal by Gruneisen. Wichita added a touchdown with 45 seconds left, but the two point conversion failed, giving the ‘Cats a 17-9 win. Villanova captain Rich Ross was the recipient of the Sun Bowl’s Linemen’s Trophy Award, while teammate Billy Joe was given the Outstanding Player Award.
For Wildcat coach Alex Bell, Villanova University’s participation in the fourth annual Liberty Bowl marked the second consecutive year his ‘Cat team was invited to a major bowl Although the game was played in Villanova’s backyard, the ‘Cats were definitely underdogs. Oregon State was famed for its passing attack, which was headed by All-American and 1962 Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker. While not as heralded as the Oregon State squad, Villanova had also enjoyed an outstanding season, compiling a 7-2 record. The game, telecast nationally in color by NBC to an estimated 27 million viewers, became a defensive struggle, and to the surprise of many, the Wildcats dominated. Villanova seemingly got a big break midway through the first quarter when William Sherlock’s 52-yard punt was downed by Larry Glueck on the one-foot line. One play later, disaster struck as Oregon State’s Baker got loose around end, and raced to a 99-yard touchdown with 9:24 left in the opening period. Baker tried a two-point conversion, but the Wildcats regrouped to break up his pass, leaving the score 6-0 in Oregon State’s favor. Another tough break doomed Villanova. Taking the ensuing kickoff down to the Beavers’ 12-yard line, Villanova seemingly deadlocked the contest when Billy Joe made his way around the left end and romped 12-yards into the endzone. But a holding call nullified the play, and two plays later a Villanova pass was intercepted. The second and third quarters were scoreless, as both teams’ defenses remained unbending. In the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, Villanova made one last effort. Starting on their own 30-yard line, the Wildcats drove to Oregon State’s 11-yard line before fumbling away a chance to win the game. For the day, Villanova outgained the Beavers on the ground 246-176, and had nine more first downs, 20-11. However, Oregon State’s one big play, coupled with the ‘Cats six turnovers, added up to a disappointing loss for Villanova.

1989 NCAA First Round • I-AA Playoffs Allen Paulson Stadium, Statesboro, Ga. • November 25, 1989 Georgia Southern 52, Villanova 36 Villanova University’s football team made their first appearance in post-season play since the program was reinstated in 1985, and were faced with the realization that they would have to play the top ranked team in the nation, Georgia Southern, on the Eagles’ home field in Statesboro, Georgia. Though Villanova put up a gallant battle, the Eagles proved to be too much for the Wildcats, and won the first round of the 1989 NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs, 52-36. Georgia Southern went on to win the 1989 NCAA Division I-AA Championship. The two teams spent the first half trading scores. Following a Georgia Southern touchdown early in the contest, Villanova got on the board with seconds remaining in the first quarter on a 64-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Schulz to Harold Hart, tying the score 7-7. The Eagles scored a field goal in the second quarter, before Villanova went ahead 14-10 on a 15-yard pass from Schulz to Jeff Johnson. Minutes later, following an 83-yard Schulz to Bob Brady pass play, Schulz ran a quarterback sneak up the middle for a 21-10 Wildcat lead. Georgia Southern kicked a field goal with 30 seconds remaining in the half, sending the teams to the locker rooms with the ‘Cats leading, 21- 13. The third quarter proved to be Villanova’s downfall, however, as Georgia Southern shutout the ‘Cats just as they had shutout all their opponents in the third quarter during 1989. The Eagles scored three touchdowns and a field goal to retake the lead and open the margin 38-21. Villanova got back on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, narrowing the deficit to 10 points on a five-yard pass from Schulz to wide receiver Scott Thompson. The Eagles scored two touchdowns in a span of 44 seconds midway through the fourth period to put the game out of Villanova’s reach. With a little over two minutes remaining in the contest, Villanova completed the scoring with a one-yard pass from Schulz to Scott Donald. Reserve quarterback Mike Reilly passed to Pat Kennedy for the two point conversion, which made the final score Georgia Southern 52, Villanova 36. VILLANOVA GEORGIA SOUTHERN

1992 NCAA First Round • I-AA Playoffs
Stambaugh Stadium, Youngstown, Ohio • November 30, 1991 Youngstown State 17, Villanova 16
Stambaugh Stadium, Youngstown, Ohio • November 28, 1992 Youngstown State 23, Villanova 20
A cold, windy day in Youngstown, Ohio brought a cold end to Villanova’s 1991 football season. Playing in only their second NCAA Division I-AA Playoff game in Villanova gridiron history, the No. 7-ranked Wildcats suffered a season-ending 17-16 loss to eventual National Champion Youngstown State University. An exciting game to watch, it was a heartbreaking game to be a part of. The Wildcats led from the start, after Tom Colombo lofted a 42-yard touchdown strike to Harold Hart to put Villanova on the scoreboard with 8:32 left in the first quarter. The Penguins evened the tally with their first touchdown, with 14:14 left in the second quarter. Quarterback Ray Isaac connected on a 28-yard pass to Dave Roberts for Youngstown. But the Wildcats marched right back, led by senior tailback Pat Kennedy. Kennedy, Villanova’s leading rusher in 1991, had missed the prior four games with an elbow injury, but made up for lost time quickly. He scored on a three-yard touchdown with 7:14 left in the second period, but Villanova’s extra-point attempt by kicker Bill Hoffman was no good. Hoffman tried again later in the quarter, however, when he connected on a 28-yard field goal with only three seconds left in the half. The Wildcats led at halftime, 16-7. That’s the way it was until the 6:40 mark of the third quarter, when Youngstown’s Leo Hawkins scored on a one-yard touchdown run, and the Penguins closed to within two of the Wildcats. Villanova’s vaunted defense stymied Youngstown for much of the fourth quarter, batting away passes and holding the line, but the offense couldn’t advance despite two long drives in the final frame. A tipped pass by Villanova’s defense with Youngstown facing fourth and 11 turned into a 41-yard gain for the Penguins with under a minute remaining. Suddenly Youngstown was in scoring position, and after two quick one-yard gains, Youngstown kicker Jeff Wilkins hit a 33-yard field goal with six seconds remaining to give the Penguins a 17- 16 victory, en route to their first National Championship.
Villanova Football made their second-straight visit to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs, and third in four years, but had to go back to Youngstown, Ohio for a rematch with the defending National Champion. A cold, rainy afternoon in Stambaugh Stadium found the Wildcats once again battling down to the wire with the Penguins, only to lose in the final moments, 23-20. The ‘Cats scored first, taking a 6-0 lead on a two-yard run by tailback Kevin Mosley with 6:48 left in the first quarter. Bill Hoffman kicked the extra point to give Villanova a 7-0 margin, but Youngstown State marched right back and scored with 12:41 left in the second period to tie the game. Hoffman was called upon to kick a 22-yard field goal with 8:56 left in the first half, regaining a 10-7 lead for Villanova. The Penguins scored yet again, however, with 5:43 left when Tamron Smith ran for one yard. Youngstown State’s point-after kick failed, so the home squad had a 13-10 lead as they went into the locker room at halftime. The second half began with Villanova’s offense stymied on their first possession. But the second time the ‘Cats got the ball, they scored. Hoffman trotted out on to the field once more, with 5:38 left in the third period, to nail a 26-yard field goal and tie the game, 13-13. On their very next possession, however, Youngstown State’s Jeff Wilkins got into the act, as he kicked a 23 yard field goal to give the Penguins a 16-13 lead. That’s how the scoreboard looked when the fourth quarter began. The Penguins altered it when Tamron Smith scored his second touchdown of the day, with 11:39 remaining, and Wilkins hit the extra point to give Youngstown State a 23-13 lead. Yet the Wildcats wouldn’t die, as they marched right back on the ensuing kickoff. Villanova ran 13 plays and marched 59 yards in a drive which culminated in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Tom Colombo to Harold Hart, and a Hoffman PAT. Now it was 23-20, with 7:24 left in the game. Yet a Villanova victory was not in the cards on this day. The ‘Cats fumble on their next possession, then didn’t regain possession until there were 27 seconds left in the game. A valiant effort by Colombo, who hit passes for 11 yards (to Mosley) and Scott Donald (8 yards) got the ‘Cats to their own 40 yard line. Then Colombo nailed Straughn Lumpkin with a 47-yard completion as the clock wound down. Villanova players, coaches, and fans thought their was still time left; Youngstown’s players, coaches and fans were celebrating victory. The officials walked off the field, the contest, and Villanova’s season, was over. Colombo was 16-of-19 for 177 yards in the fourth quarter (23-of-41 for 263 yards on the day), while Mosley had 33 carries for a career-high 133 yards and a touchdown, and Curtis Eller had 22 total tackles, but it was Youngstown State that once again went on to play in the National Championship contest.

1996 NCAA First Round • I-AA Playoffs Johnson City, Tenn. • November 30, 1996 East Tennessee State 35, Villanova 29 In the first round of the I-AA playoffs, the Villanova Wildcats lost at East Tennessee State by a score of 35-29. With the loss, the Cats finish the season at 8-4, while East Tennessee State improves to 10-2. ETSU will now advance to the second round and play at No. 1 seeded Montana. The first half was all ETSU as the Bucs were dominant in taking a 28-6 lead at halftime. ETSU quarterback Greg Ryan was spectacular in the first half as he threw for three first-half scores. Villanova’s six points came from two Mark Kiefer field goals (27-yards, 42-yards). Villanova came out in the second half and completely took over the game. Senior running back Anthony Cowsette scored three straight touchdowns on runs of one yard, seven yards and two yards. Following Cowsette’s third score, Villanova went for two and failed. However, the ‘Cats were back in the game and trailed by just two points at 28-26. After ETSU scored on Ryan’s fourth touchdown throw of the afternoon making the score 35-26, Villanova quickly responded with a 14 play drive that ended in a 38-yard Mark Kiefer field goal. Kiefer had a big day as he connected on three field goals. Villanova’s comeback bid came up a bit short when they were stopped just inches from the first down marker on a fourth and 10 at the ETSU 40-yard line. ETSU took over on downs and the Bucs were able to run the clock out and escape with a victory. Besides Cowsette’s three touchdowns and Kiefer three field goals, the Villanova offense also got great play from junior running back Curtis Sifford who gained 120 yards on 24 carries. Defensively, linebacker Stephen Curry and free safety Deon Jackson led the way with 13 tackles each. VILLANOVA 0 6 20 3 ETSU 14 14 0 7

The Villanova Wildcats made history, as they won the school’s first-ever playoff game with a 49-28 win over Colgate. Trailing 28-27 entering the fourth quarter, Villanova tallied 24 last quarter points to win the game going away. Sophomore quarterback Chris Boden had a strong game, as he completed 21-of-31 for 305 yards and two touchdowns. Boden also ran for two scores. After Corey Hill caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Vena with 30 seconds left in the third quarter, No. 16 seed Colgate owned a 28-27 lead over top seeded Villanova. The Wildcats quickly responded by scoring three touchdowns in 11 minutes to take a commanding 49-28 advantage with 4:03 remaining in regulation. Boden ran in twice from one-yard out and freshman running back Brian Westbrook scored on a four-yard run to account for the three scores. Westbrook was sensational for the Wildcats, carrying 17 times for 104 yards and a touchdown for his first-ever 100+ yard rushing game. Westbrook would score three touchdowns on the day, as he made a 38-yard scoring catch and he returned an 89-yard kickoff for a score. He would finish the day with 271 yards of all-purpose offense. Senior wide receivers Brad Finneran (six receptions for 107 yards) and Josh Dolbin (six receptions for 92 yards) led the receiving attack, while senior place kicker Mark Kiefer connected on two field goals. On defense, junior Chris Machovina registered a team-high 11 tackles, while junior cornerback Ademole Turner recorded two interceptions. Villanova received a scare in the first quarter when All-American wide receiver Brian Finneran went down with a sprained ankle. Finneran managed to play half of the second quarter before being forced to leave the game.
Villanova saw its dream season come to a close on Saturday, Dec. 6, as the Wildcats were eliminated from the playoffs with a 37-34 loss to visiting Youngstown State. With the setback, Villanova finishes the 1997 season with a 12-1 mark. Youngstown State went on to capture the NCAA I-AA National Championship. The Wildcats started the game in fine fashion, scoring the first three touchdowns of the game to take a 21-0 lead just two minutes into the second quarter. On their first possession, Villanova drove straight down the field and scored on a 19-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Chris Boden to senior wide receiver Brian Finneran. Freshman running back Brian Westbrook scored Villanova’s second touchdown on an eight-yard scamper. Senior Josh Dolbin registered Villanova’s third touchdown when he caught an 11-yard pass from Boden. Youngstown State battle right back. Adrian Brown ran in from 23-yards for a score, giving the Penguins their first score of the day. Two minutes later, Youngstown State blocked Mark Kiefer’s punt and recovered it in the end zone. The teams went to halftime, with Villanova holding a 21-14 lead. The ‘Cats started the second half as they did in the first, driving 80-yards on the first possession and scoring on a 10-yard pass from Boden to Finneran. However, at this point, Youngstown State took control of the game, recording 23 unanswered points. The big play of the Penguin comeback, occurred at 2:55 of the third quarter when Jauron Dailey returned a Boden fumble nine yards for a score to tie the game at 28-28. Trailing 37-28 with 2:25 to play in regulation, Westbrook kept Villanova’s hopes alive, by catching a seven-yard pass from Boden, to cut the Penguin lead to 37-34. Following a Wildcat defensive stop, Villanova got the ball back with 1:25 on the clock. After an incomplete pass and a sack, Boden’s desperation pass on third down was intercepted and Villanova’s dreams of a perfect season came to a close. Despite playing on a sprained ankle, Brian Finneran tied a school record with 16 receptions for 180 yards and two scores. Boden finished the afternoon 29-of-43 for 323 yards and four touchdowns, while Westbrook gained 97 yards on 17 carries and scored one touchdown. Defensively, sophomore linebackers Shaun Lyons and Dave Heckard led the charge with Lyons making 13 stops and Heckard recording 11 total tackles.

The Villanova University football team overcame a 31-14 second half deficit to beat the visiting Furman Paladins, 45-38 in Division I-AA playoff action. Senior quarterback Brett Gordon passed for 250 yards and three touchdowns en route to breaking Chris Boden’s singleseason record of 3,707 passing yards. The Wildcats got on the board on their opening drive, when Gordon found senior Cameron Cross for a seven yard touchdown strike. Furman then broke onto the scoreboard with 5:55 remaining in the first quarter when Dan Marshall booted a 38 yard field goal through the uprights. Villanova then fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Furman took over on the Wildcat 17 yard line. Senior quarterback Billy Napier put the Paladins ahead on a five yard touchdown scamper. At the start of the second quarter, Napier led Furman 70 yards down the field, resulting in his second touchdown run of the day. On Villanova’s next possession, the Wildcats attempted a fake punt, but were held to no gain and Furman took over on Villanova’s 27 yard line. Furman would capitalize on their opportunity as Brandon Berry scored on a three yard run, making the score 24-7. The Wildcats quickly changed the momentum of the game when Mo Gibson ran Brian Kovach’s kickoff back 96 yards for the Villanova touchdown. The score would remain 24-14 heading into the locker room. The Paladins used their opening possession of the second half to drive 79 yards, culminating in a Hindley Brigham four yard touchdown run. From this point, the Villanova offense would come back to score 17 unanswered points to take a 38-31 lead with just 6:19 to go in the game. Gibson started the offensive attack when he capped off an eight-play, 80 yard drive with an 11 yard run. On the drive, Gordon completed a 15 yard pass to Brian White and an 18 yard strike to tight end Matt Chila to move the ‘Cats down the field. The Wildcats defense received two big plays from Jamison Young to force Furman to punt. Gordon then led the Wildcats 46 yards to set up a 30 yard field goal from Adam James, cutting Furman’s lead to 31-24. Villanova kept its momentum going when Young turned in another fine defensive play, intercepting a Napier pass across the middle and returning it to the Furman 29 yard line. Gordon followed with four completions, culminating in a five yard touchdown strike to White. James’ extra point was good, knotting the score at 31-31 with 9 minutes remaining in the game. On the following kickoff, senior Darnell Greene forced a fumble, which was recovered by Villanova’s Gary Johnson. Johnson took the ball 16 yards to the Furman 39 yard line. The Wildcats took advantage of their field position with Gordon completing four of his next five attempts. On first and goal, Gordon rolled out and found Chila in the back of the end zone, putting Villanova ahead for the first time since the first quarter. James’ extra point attempt put the Wildcats ahead 38-31 with 6:19 left to play. Napier then moved the Paladins 74 yards, completing four passes for 50 yards, setting up Torico O’Neal’s 16 yard touchdown run. Marshall split the uprights, tying the game at 38. With 3:58 remaining, the Villanova offense took the field. Terry Butler’s 12 yard run gave Villanova a first down at their own 41 yard line. Villanova kept the chains moving when Gordon hit White cutting across the middle for a 30 yard completion. On the next play from scrimmage, Butler took the ball 24 yards up the middle, giving the Wildcats a first down at the Furman five yard line. Butler then gave Villanova the lead with a five yard touchdown run with 3:08 to go. Napier and the Paladins mounted a late rally, driving to the Villanova 29 yard line, however the Villanova defense held its ground and four passes to senior Bear Rinehart fell incomplete, sealing the Villanova victory. Leading the way offensively for the Wildcats was Gordon who finished 27 for 40 with 250 yards and three touchdowns. Gibson added two scores, while Butler, White and Chila all added one. Defensively, Young finished with 11 tackles, five of which were for a loss and one interception.
On Saturday, Dec. 7, at Villanova Stadium, senior Brett Gordon completed 26-of-30 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns, leading Villanova to a 24-10 victory over Fordham in the Division I-AA playoff quarterfinals. With the win, the Wildcats improve to 11-3 overall on the year and advance to the semifinals of the I-AA playoffs for the first time in school history. Villanova got on the scoreboard first as Adam James kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8:32 remaining in the first quarter. With 2:58 remaining in the half and the Wildcats still clinging to a 3-0 advantage, Villanova used a little bit of offensive trickery to add to its lead. Gordon hit senior wideout Brian White who lateraled the ball to freshman Mo Gibson. Gibson scampered 25 yards off the hook and ladder for a Villanova touchdown to give the `Cats a 10-0 halftime lead. Fordham (10-3) struck first in the second half on a 31-yard field goal by Matt Fordyce to slice the Wildcats’ lead to 10-3. Villanova followed with a 14-play, 66-yard scoring drive in a span of 6:39 on the next possession, as Butler took the ball in from four yards out to increase the margin to 17-3. The Rams caught a break at the beginning of the fourth quarter as Chris Anzano blocked a James’ punt which Fordham’s Adam Foley recovered and returned to the Villanova one-yard line. Two plays later, Kirwin Watson rushed in from one yard out for a Ram touchdown to cut the lead to 17-10. The Fordham defense was unable to stop a determined Wildcat offensive attack. Villanova ate up 6:20 of the clock with a 13-play-76yard drive resulting in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Gordon to Butler giving the `Cats a 24-10 lead with only 3:20 left in the game. The Rams were unable to capitalize down the stretch on a stingy Villanova defense, as the Wildcats went on for the 24-10 victory. Gordon, who played most of the game with an injured thumb on his throwing hand, finished the day 26-of-30 for 216 yards and two touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Shaz Brown (50 yard) and junior tight end Matt Chila (44 yards) each caught five passes in the contest. Villanova used an effective ground game in the win running for 129 yards. Butler rushed for 81 yards on 19 carries and had one score, in addition to catching three passes for 33 yards and one touchdown. On defense for the `Cats, Isaiah Harrison and Darnell Greene each posted seven tackles, while senior Jamison Young had six tackles, two tackles for a loss and one sack in his final career home game. Fordham, which was averaging 34 points per game going into the contest, managed only 193 total yards. Kevin Eakin went 16-for-32 for 115 yards and threw two interceptions.

B.J. Sams scored two touchdowns as McNeese State rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to beat Villanova 39-28 Saturday and advance to the Division I-AA title game. Sams put the Cowboys up 26-21 in the fourth quarter when he caught a pass, broke three tackles and went 69 yards for the score. He also ran for a 5-yard TD in the third quarter. He finished with 47 yards rushing and caught three passes for 90 yards. Brett Gordon completed 24 of 49 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns for Villanova (11-4) despite playing with a broken thumb. It was the second straight week that top-seeded McNeese overcame a two-touchdown deficit in the second half. Last week, McNeese trailed Montana State 17-0 in the third quarter before coming back to win 24-20. The Wildcats, making their first semifinal appearance, led 21-7 at halftime before McNeese scored 26 straight points. After Sams’ touchdown catch, Jermaine Martin scored on a 36-yard reverse to make it 33-21. Villanova’s Phil DiGiacomo scored on a 6-yard run with 7:43 left to play to cut the Cowboys’ lead to 33-28, but Jacob Prim sealed the win for McNeese when he scored on a 14-yard run in the final seconds. Gordon threw first-half touchdown passes of 5 yards to Matt Chila and 14 yards to Shaz Brown. His 57-yarder to Noble Champen set up Terry Butler’s 1-yard run for a 21-7 Wildcat lead. McNeese’s only score in the first half came on Achil Fairchild’s 45-yard interception return.
Matt Szczur returned the opening kickoff 91 yards for a score and added two more touchdowns as Villanova cruised to a 55-28 win over Colgate in the first round of the NCAA Division I Championship at Villanova Stadium. Villanova won its fifth straight game and picked up its first playoff victory since 2002, when it advanced to the semifinals before losing to McNeese State. Jordan Scott scored three touchdowns for Patriot League champion Colgate, which had its eight-game winning streak snapped. It was Colgate’s first loss since falling to Furman, 42-21, on Sept. 13. Szczur gave the Wildcats a quick 6-0 lead 13 seconds into the game. Before Joe Marcoux’s PAT attempt missed wide right, the game was delayed nearly 15 minutes as Villanova safety Darrel Young was carted off the field in an ambulance with a neck sprain. He was taken to University of Pennsylvania Hospital, and after the game Villanova coach Andy Talley said all tests came back negative. Colgate eventually cut the lead to 13-7 when Scott scored on a 2-yard run with 1:22 left in the first quarter. The Wildcats responded with 28 unanswered points for a commanding 41-7 halftime advantage. Four Villanova players scored in the second quarter. Aaron Ball’s 8-yard touchdown run for Villanova came with 1:41 left for the final score of the first half. Ball also scored from 6 yards in the first. Szczur added a 4-yard run in the second and a 16-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Chris Whitney early in the third.

2008 NCAA Quarterfinals • FCS Playoffs Bridgeforth Stadium, Harrisonburg, Va. • December 6, 2008 James Madison 31, Villanova 27 Rodney Landers threw for three touchdowns and ran for the go-ahead score with 1:38 to play Saturday as top-seeded James Madison rallied to beat Villanova 31-27 in the Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinals. Sophomore quarterback Chris Whitney was 13-for-20 for a career-high 213 yards for the Wildcats, and sophomore wide receiver Matt Szczur had a 2-yard touchdown run. The Dukes trailed only once, after Szczur’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Stephen Pimm out of the Wildcat formation with 6:54 left. But Landers drove James Madison 54 yards for the go-ahead touchdown and Marcus Haywood intercepted Whitney to end Villanova’s comeback hopes. The Wildcats finished 10-3, and the Dukes advanced to play Montana, the team they beat to win the 2004 national championship, next weekend. The game was a rematch of a regular-season contest won 23-19 by James Madison on Landers’ 35-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass on the final play. Landers was the hero again this time around, throwing for 157 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 143 more, including the winning touchdown. Whitney brought them within a score with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Brandyn Harvey with 13:51 to play, but a missed extra point left it at 24-20. After Pimm’s touchdown, an excessive celebration penalty forced Villanova to kick off from its 15, and JMU returned the ensuing kickoff to its 46. The Dukes converted a fourth-and-2, getting a 22-yard run by Griff Yancey, and a third-and-4 on the drive before Landers took it in. Villanova James Madison

In the first round of the Division I Football Championship, No. 2 Seed Villanova defeated Holy Cross by a final score of 38-28 at Villanova Stadium to advance to the quarterfinal round for the second straight season. Villanova traded scoring drives with the Crusaders for most of the game, but two unanswered touchdowns by the Wildcats in the second quarter provided the team with a lead they never relinquished. Chris Whitney had a one-yard touchdown run with 8:58 left in the opening half and Angelo Babbaro ran in for a score from two yards out with 57 seconds remaining in the period. In the fourth quarter, a 25-yard field goal by Nick Yako accounted for the eventual final margin as Villanova went ahead, 38-28, following a 13-play drive which consumed more than six minutes of clock time. The Wildcats had three scoring drives in the contest that lasted 11 or more plays. Holy Cross had a final possession after the field goal by Yako but went just 28 yards on seven plays over 1:30 and turned the ball over on downs to Villanova with 5:43 to play. The Wildcats held possession the rest of the way to run out the clock on a blustery afternoon in which wind gusts of over 20 miles per hour affected balls in the air at several points. En route to the victory, Villanova ran up 537 yards of offense on 84 plays while holding the ball for more than 35 minutes in the game. The Crusaders, on the other hand, ran 65 plays and had the ball in the hands of their offense for just 24:18, including less than 11 minutes in the second half. Matt Szczur had a career-high 130 yards receiving on seven catches for the Wildcats, including a 45-yard reception in the third quarter that set up Villanova’s fifth touchdown of the day. Whitney completed 16-of-23 through the air for 239 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions, while also running the ball 10 times for 62 yards and a touchdown. He threw a 29-yard scoring pass to redshirt freshman wide receiver Dorian Wells late in the first quarter. On the ground, Aaron Ball carried 23 times for 99 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats. He got the scoring started just 4:49 into the contest with a six-yard touchdown run that capped an 11-play drive on the first offensive series of the afternoon. Babbaro ran for 75 yards and Szczur registered 55 yards on the ground along the way to racking up 238 all-purpose yards. The Wildcat defense once again did an effective job of stopping the run, as Villanova rolled to a 298-46 edge in yards on the ground. Defensively, Terence Thomas had a teambest nine tackles.
On slippery, snow-covered turf at Villanova Stadium, No. 2 seed Villanova advanced to the semifinals of the Division I Football Championship with a 46-7 win over New Hampshire. A steady, wind-blown snow fell throughout the entire game on a day when the temperature never surpassed the 37 degrees at kickoff. The field condition created by the inclement weather manifested itself on the first offensive play of the game, as New Hampshire fumbled at its own 22-yard line and the ball was kicked around by players from both teams before Villanova’s John Dempsey corralled the ball and registered a four-yard fumble return for his first career touchdown. The rest of the first half featured more of the same for the Villanova defense. Out of seven possessions for New Hampshire in the first half, the Wildcats gained no more than nine yards on any of them and were held to negative yards four times. Villanova ran up a 24-0 lead by halftime while outgaining New Hampshire in total offense 235 yards to minus 33 in the first two quarters. In the second half, New Hampshire eventually got its passing game going but never got on track on the ground. The combination of the weather and the ability of the Villanova defense to stop the run limited the Wildcats to minus 66 rushing yards in the game. That figure broke the previous Villanova defensive record for fewest rushing yards allowed in a game. The old record was minus 22 and the FCS record is minus 90. Nick Yako made a 32-yard field goal with 8:23 left in the first quarter and Angelo Babbaro recorded a 25-yard touchdown run in the final minute of the period to extend the score to 17-0. The only points in the second quarter came on a one-yard quarterback sneak by Chris Whitney at the 10:28 mark of the period. Babbaro ran the ball 13 times for a career-high 148 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the day. He tallied his first career game with over 100 yards on the ground and Villanova surpassed 300 rushing yards for the fourth time this season. Babbaro added a 59-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and three different Villanova players carried the ball at least 12 times. Whitney generated 58 yards and the one score on 14 rushes while Aaron Ball amassed 46 yards on 12 carries. The Wildcats stretched their lead to 39-0 by the end of the third quarter thanks to a team safety, a 29-yard touchdown run by Matt Szczur and the second score of the game by Babbaro. The touchdown run by Szczur gave him nine consecutive games with a touchdown via either a rush, a reception or a pass. He finished the day with 40 yards on seven carries and two receptions for 46 yards. Whitney threw the ball just five times and was 3-of-5 for 44 yards, including a 29-yard throw to Szczur in the second quarter which was the only time in the game that Villanova looked downfield on an offensive play. Villanova finished the game with a 387-84 margin in total offense yards. The Wildcats held the ball for nearly 36 minutes of the game and didn’t allow New Hampshire to pick up positive offensive yardage for the game until late in the third quarter.

Junior wide receiver Matt Szczur ignited the offense with a 62-yard touchdown run and executed a fake punt that eventually led to a one-yard quarterback sneak by Chris Whitney, as No. 2 seed Villanova advanced to the title game of the Division I Football Championship with a 14-13, come-from-behind victory over William & Mary at Villanova Stadium. The Wildcats scored touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters to rally for the win, which set a new program record for single-season victories (13). Villanova’s offense stagnated for much of the game against the nation’s top rushing defense, but Szczur changed that with a big run at the 9:03 mark of the third quarter for the Wildcats first points of the game. The score trimmed a 10-point deficit down to 10-7 and got the ball rolling for Villanova through the rest of the game. Whitney’s one-yard run at the 10:57 mark of the fourth quarter gave the Wildcats their first and only lead of the game. After a 40-yard field goal by Tribe kicker Brian Pate made the score 13-7 in favor of William & Mary at the 2:13 mark of the third period, the Wildcats started their next drive from the Tribe’s 48-yard line following a 31-yard kickoff return by Szczur. On 4th-and-8 from the 46-yard line near the end of the quarter, Szczur executed a fake punt for a nine-yard rush and a Villanova first down at the Tribe 37. A review of the play by the instant replay booth confirmed Szczur’s spot. On the same drive early in the fourth quarter, senior wide receiver Brandyn Harvey caught a 16-yard pass on 3rd-and-7 from the William & Mary 22-yard line. He was initially ruled out of bounds at the six-yard line and the pass an incompletion, but the call was overturned based on an official review in the booth. A number of plays literally came down to inches or less in deciding the game. On 2ndand-goal from the eight-yard line, junior running back Aaron Ball carried for seven yards just past the one-yard line. A third official review revealed that he had not gotten into the end zone. Whitney was then stuffed on 3rd-and-1 before sneaking in on the right side on fourth down for a 14-13 lead and the eventual game-winning touchdown. The Wildcats turned the game around with their backs up against the wall due to a 10-0 halftime deficit against a William & Mary team that entered the game giving up fewer than 12 points per game to its opponents. Villanova possessed the ball for just 9:14 in the first half and managed only 70 yards of total offense, including just 25 yards on the ground. In the second half, the Wildcats held the ball for 17:32, including nearly the entire fourth quarter (12:58). Villanova wound up gaining 168 yards on the ground and had 267 yards of total offense. Szczur ran for 92 yards on eight carries and Whitney picked up 37 net yards (62 gained, 25 lost) on 17 rushes. Through the air, he was held to 7-of-20 accuracy for 98 yards. Harvey caught a team-high three passes for 65 yards on the night. Villanova received a big lift from Dominic Scarnecchia, who placed six of his eight punts inside the Tribe 20-yard line with his unusual rugby-style punting. Scarnecchia averaged 37.6 yards on his eight punts. On the defensive end, Fred Maldonado and Terence Thomas had seven tackles each to lead four Wildcats with at least six total stops. In addition, John Dempsey had a 17-yard interception return.
Matt Szczur rushed for a career-high 159 yards and carried No. 2 seed Villanova to its first national championship in front of 14,328 at Finley Stadium. The Wildcats knocked off No. 1 seed and undefeated Montana to win a national title as head coach Andy Talley reached the pinnacle of college football in his 25th season on the Main Line. Szczur racked up 270 allpurpose yards en route to being named the championship game’s Most Outstanding Player. Villanova trailed 14-3 midway through the second quarter before putting the ball in the hands of Szczur and junior Chris Whitney. Szczur ran for a five-yard touchdown with 3:34 left before halftime and later accounted for the winning margin with a three-yard touchdown run at the 11:04 mark of the fourth period. Whitney finished with 102 yards on 16 carries while also completing 10-of-13 passes for 142 yards with one score and one interception. Along the way to winning the championship, the Wildcats totaled 493 yards of total offense. Early in the contest the team set a new single season record for total offense in a season, adding to records already established for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a season. Whitney finishes the season with 987 rushing yards, more than double his own previous record for the most rushing yards in a season by a Villanova quarterback. The Wildcats held the ball for nearly 20 minutes after halftime after Montana had a narrow edge in controlling the ball in the first half. Whitney hit Chris Farmer for a three-yard score with 5:27 left in the third period to give the Wildcats their first lead of the game at 16-14. Villanova had given up a lead just two times all season long and didn’t relinquish their advantage in the biggest game in the century-plus history of the program. A game of this magnitude was never going to end without a great charge by the Grizzlies in the waning moments. Montana quarterback Andrew Selle completed a 53-yard touchdown pass to Jabin Sambrano with 1:07 to play to pull the Grizzlies to within just two points. Montana was unable to convert an onside kick, however, as the attempt went out of bounds. The Wildcats were then able to run out the clock and finish off their championship run with their ninth consecutive victory. The game was a tale of two halves on the offensive end for the Grizzlies, who scored on a 24-yard touchdown reception by Marc Mariani at the 3:15 mark of the first quarter and then stretched the lead to double digits on a four-yard scoring reception by Sambrano with 6:48 to play in the second period. Mariani caught nine passes for 178 yards in the first half but did not catch a pass in the second half. Villanova scored first in the game on a 23-yard field goal by Nick Yako with 5:12 left in the opening period. Yako made six of his last seven field goal tries of the season and his lone attempt in this game gave the Wildcats a brief 3-0 lead before Montana roared back with 14 unanswered points. After Szczur recorded the first touchdown of the night for the Wildcats in the second quarter, Yako missed an extra point attempt wide left. It was the first and only miss of the season for Yako, who set individual and team single-season records in his first collegiate campaign for extra points (kicking) made and attempted.

In the second round of the Division I Football Championship, No. 10 Villanova dominated the final three quarters of the game and advanced to the quarterfinals with a 54-24 victory over No. 3 Stephen F. Austin at Homer Bryce Stadium in a remarkable come-from-behind effort. A 14-point deficit after the opening quarter was quickly shaken off by the defending national champions, as the Wildcats scored 47 of the game’s final 50 points. Senior quarterback Chris Whitney threw for a career-high four touchdowns, junior wide receiver Norman White caught a career-high three touchdown passes and Villanova turned the game around with a huge second quarter in their first-ever playoff win in a true road game. The Wildcats trailed 21-7 at the end of the first quarter but rallied back to go into halftime with a 34-24 advantage before completely shutting down the Lumberjacks in the second half. Villanova settled in offensively and fired on all cylinders with senior wide receiver Matt Szczur playing at full strength for the first time since late September and also came up with one big defensive play after another, forcing Stephen F. Austin into an uncharacteristic six turnovers. Senior linebacker Marquis Kirkland had both an interception and a fumble recovery while also making eight tackles to epitomize the play of the entire defense for the larger portion of the game. The second quarter started with the Wildcats continuing a drive from the opening period but Villanova was forced to punt from their own 23-yard line. Junior Dominic Scarnecchia drilled a 47-yard punt, the Lumberjacks fumbled the return and freshman Craig James recovered the ball at Stephen F. Austin’s 29-yard line. The ensuing Wildcats possession culminated with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Whitney to White which pulled Villanova back to within one possession at 21-14 with 10:59 left in the second quarter. A field goal by the Lumberjacks at the 7:46 mark of the period restored a double digit lead at 24-14 but then the Wildcats surge really kicked into full gear. Sophomore kicker Mark Hamilton kicked a 37-yard field goal to give Villanova reason for optimism on special teams and the Wildcats never looked back. Senior defensive back John Dempsey intercepted a pass to give Villanova great field position inside the red zone and the team eventually turned a fourth-and-9 situation from the 17-yard line into a game-tying touchdown on a pass from junior Marlon Calbi to White via a faked field goal attempt. Next, the Wildcats worked just as efficiently as their opponents had earlier in the game to score 10 points in the final 34 seconds before the intermission. Whitney hit sophomore wide receiver Mikey Reynolds for a four-yard touchdown strike with 34 seconds left and Hamilton kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to send Villanova into the locker room with a doubledigit lead thanks to a 24-point second quarter turnaround. Whitney was 21-of-30 through the air for 222 yards and also ran the ball 13 times for 49 yards as the Wildcats eclipsed 200 yard passing and rushing in the same game for the second time this season. White had six receptions for 69 yards and the three scores, although just as crucial to the team’s offense was having Szczur back in top form. In his second game back after missing the previous seven contests, Szczur caught a careerhigh 11 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown while also running the ball nine times for 68 yards. Senior running backs Aaron Ball and Angelo Babbaro added 63 yards and 47 yards rushing, respectively
Senior wide receiver Matt Szczur had a career-high four touchdowns and threw for another score to lead Villanova into the semifinals of the Division I Football Championship with a 42-24 victory at No. 1 seed Appalachian State at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The defending national champion Wildcats won on the road for the second straight week to reach the semifinals for the second year in a row and third time in program history. For the first time in his career, Szczur registered touchdowns by way of rushing, receiving and passing in the same game. He did all that in the first half alone as Villanova built a 28-10 lead by halftime before staving off numerous attempts by the Mountaineers to start a rally in the second half. This was the 32nd consecutive game since 2003 in which the Wildcats have defended a double-digit halftime lead en route to a victory. Appalachian State twice cut its deficit to 11 points in the second half but both times Villanova answered with touchdowns of its own – on runs from Szczur and senior quarter back Chris Whitney – to maintain control of the game. The game started with the Mountaineers needing just four plays to score on their first possession and take a 7-0 lead on a 46-yard run by Travaris Cadet just 1:12 into the contest. It was the type of quick strike Appalachian State wanted to make over and over and was a similar start to the one Villanova endured in the second round last week, when the Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin scored first and eventually led by 14 points in the first quarter. No uphill climb was necessary for the Wildcats this time, as Szczur scored on a two-yard run with 8:18 left in the first quarter to tie the game at 7-7. Later in the first quarter, Mountaineers wide receiver Devon Moore caught a pass near the sideline and broke away for a 74-yard play before being taken down at the five-yard line. Villanova reversed the momentum of that play, however, by holding Appalachian State to a field goal which put the hosts up 10-7. Then it was off to the races. Szczur threw a 54-yard pass to junior wide receiver Norman White, who made a running one-handed catch on his way into the end zone for the Wildcats first lead of the game, 14-10 with 21 seconds left in the first quarter. Next up was a 30-yard touchdown pass from Whitney to Szczur, followed by a 24-yard run from Szczur which stretched the Villanova advantage to 28-10 with 5:17 remaining before halftime. Those two scores were business as usual for the Wildcats, who have scored almost 40 percent of their points this season in the second quarter and have a 152-58 scoring margin in the second period of games for the year. Szczur wound up running for 105 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries, caught a team-high five passes for 45 yards and a score and went 2-of-2 through the air for 58 yards and a touchdown. He had 207 all-purpose yards and this was the second time in his career that he found three different ways to score a touchdown in the same game; the other was in the first round of the playoffs in 2008 and included touchdowns via a rush, pass and kick return. Villanova had possession of the ball for nearly 33 minutes in the game, with more than 28 minutes of that time coming in the first three periods. Whitney was an efficient 12-of-16 for 106 yards and a touchdown, with White making four catches for a team-high 88 yards and a score.

Villanova, the defending national champions, lost four fumbles, each leading to EWU scores. Mitchell, who transferred to Eastern this season after losing the starting job at SMU, completed 27 of 38 passes for 292 yards and was not intercepted. Brandon Kaufman caught eight passes for 135 yards. The Eagles were without leading rusher Taiwan Jones, who gained 1,742 yards before suffering a broken foot against North Dakota State last weekend.

Quarterback Chris Whitney completed just 12 of 21 passes for 95 yards and was intercepted twice. Villanova’s Angelo Babbaro returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. But Mitchell hit Nicholas Edwards for a 31-yard touchdown pass on EWU’s ensuing possession to tie the game. Villanova then fumbled the ball away three times on its next four possessions, after losing only 11 fumbles all season, to enable Eastern to take a 20-7 lead. Whitney fumbled on the Wildcats’ first play from scrimmage, and Eastern’s Paul Ena recovered. The Eagles drove to the 6 before Mike Jarrett kicked a 24-yard field goal for a 10-7 lead. Villanova fumbled on its next series, the second fumble in only five plays from scrimmage, and Ena recovered again. Jarrett’s 31-yard field goal gave Eastern a 13-7 lead.

HISTORY

illanova Stadium, home to Wildcat football, field hockey, lacrosse, and track and field teams, has a long and successful tradition. The Wildcats begin their 84th season of conducting intercollegiate athletic events inside the distinguished on-campus stadium in 2011. Officially dedicated on October 8, 1927, the Wildcats wasted no time establishing a winning tradition inside their new stadium, winning the opening football contest against Lebanon Valley 32-7. The ‘Cats went on to extend their home win streak to 14 games before finally suffering its first football defeat in Villanova Stadium in 1930. Because this historic site includes two memorials to former Wildcats, alumni and fans often forget that the official name of this complex is Villanova Stadium, as it was originally dedicated back in 1927. The first memorial came soon after Villanova Stadium opened. On October 2, 1928, Leo J. Goodreau, a sophomore on the football team, died as a result of injuries received during football practice. On May 7, 1930, his classmates dedicated the playing field to his memory, with a plaque located at the main entrance to the stadium. On September 27, 1980, the track encircling Goodreau Field was dedicated to longtime Villanova track & field coach James “Jumbo” Elliott. Therefore, the ‘Cats play football, lacrosse, and field hockey on Goodreau Field, while the track team runs on the Elliott Track, all within Villanova Stadium. The stadium was originally completed at a cost of $500,000 in 1927. Able to seat approximately 5,500 spectators, the stadium was recognized as one of the finest on-campus collegiate stadiums in the country. In 1930, the stadium had its first addition as concrete stands on the north side were added, increasing the Villanova Stadium seating capacity to 12,000. While the Wildcats continued to expand on their success inside Villanova Stadium, the stadium itself remained relatively unchanged until 1958 when the seating capacity was again increased. Extending the seating in both the north and south seating areas, Villanova Stadium capacity was increased to 13,400. A re-configuring of seats, and replacement of the entire seating with new aluminum bleachers in the summer of 1990 reduced the seating capacity of Villanova Stadium to its current 12,000. In 1980, Villanova undertook a $1.3 million renovation of the playing surfaces inside the stadium. The old grass playing field and the ‘Cats’ legendary cinder track were torn up and removed and replaced by an AstroTurf playing field and an eight-lane, Rubaturf 400-meter track. Completed in August 1980, Villanova’s new track was officially dedicated the Jumbo Elliott Track
on September 27, 1980 in honor of the Wildcat’s legendary track and field coach. Twenty-two former track Olympians from Villanova and a score of other Wildcat track and field greats gathered for the official track dedication during halftime of the sold out Villanova – Boston College homecoming football game, a contest the Wildcats won Villanova will play its 84th season at with an impressive Villanova Stadium in 2011. 20-9 showing.

ince Nicastro enters his 12th year as the Villanova University Director of Athletics in 2011-12. As the Director of Athletics, Nicastro is responsible for leading a Villanova Athletics Department that is committed to excellence both in competition and in the classroom. The broad-based Wildcat athletics program is comprised of 24 men’s and women’s varsity sports and over 500 student-athletes. In addition, club sports and an extensive intramurals and recreation program fall under the auspices of the Athletic Department. Villanova is a member of the Big East Conference and the Colonial Athletic Association Football Conference. In his 11 seasons at the helm, Nicastro has overseen significant success in the key areas of intercollegiate athletics, and the 2010-11 academic year was one of the University’s best in recent memory. Villanova finished 2010-11 ranked 50th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup, a program which recognizes a school’s across-the-board success in athletics. The ranking was Villanova’s highest since 2003-04 and ranked the Wildcats second among non-Football Bowl Subdivision schools and fifth best among all BIG EAST schools. The 2010-11 academic year was highlighted by the women’s cross country team winning its second consecutive and ninth all-time national championship, while the women’s indoor and outdoor track squads combined for four individual event national titles. The men’s cross country team also reached the NCAA Championships for the third consecutive year. In all five different teams advanced to national postseason play in 2010-11, including the men’s lacrosse team earning an atlarge bid to the NCAA Championships for the first time in its history after being ranked as high as No. 7 in the nation during the season. The football team reached the semifinals of the Division I Football Championship in its third straight playoff appearance and the men’s basketball team played in the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive year, tying a program record. The successful campaign for the Wildcats in 2010-11 came on the heels of an equally impressive year in 2009-10, when Villanova celebrated national championships in women’s cross country and football. The football team won its first-ever FCS national championship, while the women’s soccer and men’s basketball teams also made trips to the NCAA Tournament. In addition, the women’s indoor track & field team captured the BIG EAST championship and the men’s lacrosse team was ranked in the nation’s top-10 during the inaugural year of men’s lacrosse competition in the BIG EAST Conference.
Under Nicastro’s stewardship, the men’s basketball team is one of just two BIG EAST programs to qualify for the NCAA Tournament in each of the last seven years, including a trip to the 2009 Final Four. The Wildcat women’s soccer team has participated in six of the last 10 NCAA Tournaments, including a 2003 Sweet 16 berth. The women’s basketball program has tallied 20 wins or more in six of the last 11 seasons en route to earning a postseason bid in nine of the last 12 years, including a visit to the Elite Eight in 2003. The football team has made four appearances in the NCAA playoffs since 2002, including semifinal appearances in 2002 and 2010 and winning the 2009 national championship. In his tenure as Director, Nicastro has been instrumental in the growth of the Villanova Athletic Fund program, which once again achieved an unprecedented level of participation in 201011. Nicastro has also played an integral role in securing numerous major gifts for endowments and facility upgrades to benefit Villanova Athletics. The most striking capital undertaking is the Davis Center for Athletics & Fitness that serves as a state-of-the-art practice facility for use by the men’s and women’s basketball programs and greatly improves the recreational and fitness offerings for the campus community. The $18.7 million facility, which opened in November of 2007, represents the largest capital project in University history to be funded entirely through donor support. Other facility upgrades under Nicastro’s watch include the Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth Meeting; a new softball complex; the Villanova Stadium Turf Replacement; the installation of a new track in Villanova Stadium, new track & field throwing sectors and numerous team locker room enhancements. Achievement in the classroom has also remained a priority under Nicastro’s leadership. During the 2010-11 academic year, Villanova student-athletes posted a 3.092 grade point average – the 15th consecutive semester with a composite GPA above 3.0, while achieving exemplary graduation rates. Also in 2010-11, seven Wildcat teams received NCAA Public Recognition Awards for ranking in the top 10 percent in the nation for team GPA within their sport. In addition, Villanova saw each of its 24 sports post an APR score above the national average. Those beyond the Villanova zip code have taken notice. U.S. News and World Report listed Villanova as one of the Top 20 athletic programs in the nation in 2003. In 2004, Villanova was recognized as the top program in the Big East Conference in a study conducted by the Laboratory for the Study of Intercollegiate Athletics at Texas
146
A&M. In its first presentation of the Excellence in Athletics Cup, Villanova was cited for success in areas including NCAA postseason success, graduation rates, gender equity position and operating efficiency. In 2003, Nicastro oversaw the second cycle of the NCAA’s re-certification of Villanova University Athletics. He has also guided the University’s implementation of a comprehensive Title IX compliance program which has increased opportunities for female student-athletes and enhanced resources for Villanova’s women’s programs. Nicastro joined the Villanova Athletics Department in 1994 when he was hired as the school’s Director of Ticket Operations. He was promoted to Assistant Athletics Director in 1997, and then elevated to the position of Associate Athletics Director soon thereafter. As an Associate Athletics Director, he was responsible for overseeing the department’s administrative functions, including business operations, personnel and staffing and the sports medicine and strength/conditioning programs. On his path to the Director’s office, Nicastro served as the designated sport administrator for many of Villanova’s men’s and women’s varsity programs, working closely to plan and develop all aspects of their sport’s programs. Nicastro also coordinated Villanova’s summer camp programs and the department’s information technology issues. Nicastro has also been active both inside and outside the University, serving on many key committees. He is a member of the Villanova University President’s Cabinet and is a member of the University’s Administrative Budget Committee, which plays a key role in crafting the University’s operating budget and making recommendations for strategic investments. Nicastro has been a member of the Colonial Athletic Association Football Conference Executive Committee and is on the Executive Committee of the Philadelphia Sports Congress. He was recently appointed to the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance. He also formerly served as the Chair of the Big East Conference Athletic Directors Executive Committee, the Big East Conference Championships and Competitions Committee, the Big East Conference Finance Committee. He has also served as a member of the Gatorade Athletic Director Advisory Board. A 1987 graduate of Bloomsburg University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration/Accounting, Nicastro earned his MBA from St. Joseph’s University in 1994. Nicastro and his wife Liz reside in Drexel Hill, Pa., with their 11-year old twin sons, Jake and Casey.
