The Villanova Wildcats will feel they let this one get away from them. They went toe-to-toe with the Temple Owls in the first Mayor’s Cup since 2012 and were undone by missed opportunities and untimely mistakes all afternoon.
Whether it was dropped passes, missed reads and blocking assignments, or tipped passes that could have been interceptions, the ball just wasn’t bouncing Villanova’s way at Lincoln Financial field in a 16-13 loss
Despite storming back in the second half, the depth issue began to show late and the Cats just missed out on a signature win
Both teams were able to move the ball early, but timely mistakes stalled out promising drives.
