Individual Notes
• Villanova kicked away from senior All-America Justin Rogers most of the day, and Rogers was limited to two kickoff returns for 31 yards. He is now just four yards shy of breaking the CAA Football career kickoff returns yards record (held by Villanova great Brian Westbrook).
• Sophomore P Nick Hicks completed a 32-yard pass to junior CB Tremayne Graham on a fake punt - it was the first career reception for Graham, who has four career interceptions.
