That won’t be a fun ride home after Villanova blew a 3-score halftime lead to fall out of the playoffs to SE Louisiana, 45-44.
It all started so well, with Villanova getting a big stop on the opening drive of the game. Jalen Goodman broke up a pass on 4th-and-7 in Villanova territory. DeeWill Barlee and the offense put together a sustained drive and nearly had the Lions fooled on a fake field goal, but the Lions’ coaching staff was able to call timeout in time. Drew Kresge converted the ensuing 38-yard field goal for the early 3-0 lead.
