Watkins threw an 18-yard touchdown to TD Ayo-Durojaiye for the game’s seventh lead change midway through the third quarter and Villanova (7-2, 5-1 Coastal Athletic Association) didn’t surrender the lead for the rest of the contest. The scoring play made it 31-27, and before the quarter ended, Watkins ran it in from the 6 for an 11-point advantage. The game’s scoring ended when Watkins threw a 68-yard touchdown to Rayjuon Pringle with 9:53 left.
