After picking up their first win of the season, the Villanova Wildcats will be taking a short break from FCS play to face a familiar foe, Temple, in the revived Mayor's Cup rivalry series.
This is the 34th all-time meeting between both teams, with Villanova taking a slight 16-15-2 edge over Temple. The Owls won the latest edition of the rivalry in a lopsided 41-10 victory back in 2012. They took a break from playing each other since then, but they are slated to return to battle for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
After enjoying back-to-back 10-win seasons in the last couple of years, Temple took a step back in a harsh beatdown loss to Notre Dame.
