The last time Villanova travelled to Pittsburgh for a football game, someone forgot to tell a young Brian Westbrook that the I-A school was supposed to crush them. The Wildcats still lost the game, but the young tailback put on a show that fans are still talking about, and the score -- 48-41 -- was hardly what Panthers fans were expecting.
This time around, the Panthers are an ACC program gearing up for a campaign to win that league's Coastal Division title and a spot in the ACC title game. They won eight games last season after a period of struggles starting in 2010, and return 16 starters from last Fall.
