Exhale. Villanova’s FBS-schedule is done for another year, and the ‘Cats got out of the game relatively unscatched injury-wise. Zach Bednarczyk seemed to shake off a big hit, and Changa Hodge’s lacerated kidney came before the team ever left campus.

The obvious eyesore was the offensive side of the ball for the Wildcats.
