PHILADELPHIA -- Freshman Jaquan Amos returned a fumble 99 yards for a score and the Villanova defense forced six turnovers in a 31-0 victory over Maine on Saturday.

Amos's TD was the third 99-yard fumble return in FCS history and the first since 2006. Keeling Hunter forced Maine's Drew Belcher to fumble on the Villanova 3, Amos picked it up on the 1 and ran untouched for the score.

The Wildcats (4-2, 2-1 Colonial Athletic Association) scored on their opening drive, a 20-yard pass from Jack Schetelich to Todd Summers, and led 21-0 at halftime after the defense forced three turnovers.
