Daily News | Villanova looking to finish strong with a ‘Battle of the Blue’ victory over rival Delaware
While the story of Villanova’s season has been inconsistencies on defense, particularly in stopping the run, the Wildcats’ downfall the last two weeks has been their offense.
Two weeks ago, Towson held the Cats to three points and just 153 total yards of offense. Villanova punted 10 times, with each drive consisting of five plays or less, and junior quarterback Connor Watkins completIng just seven of his 21 passes for a season-low 68 yards. The struggles continued last week against William & Mary when the Wildcats were held to 12 points despite racking up 344 total yards, including 206 through the air from Watkins.
For a team that averages 389.3 total yards for the season, Villanova, at times, has proven that it can be explosive offensively. The Wildcats need to find that groove again to have a chance at taking down nationally-ranked Delaware.In Villanova’s loss to William & Mary last week, Dez Boykin was a bright spot for the offense. The fifth-year wide receiver stepped up in the absence of star Jaaron Hayek, recording his first career 100-yard performance on a season-high six catches.
With a record of 5-5 , Villanova’s chances of qualifying for the FCS playoffs are all but extinguished. That said, a win on Saturday would end Villanova’s season on a high note, secure local bragging rights, and ensure a second-straight winning season.
