Villanova, which dropped to #7 in the FCS polls after last week's loss to William and Mary, enjoyed a much needed bye-week. Hopefully its contingent of walking wounded, led by All-America wideout, Matt Szczur, will be back on the field next Saturday when the Cats visit Maine (12 Noon kick-off). Maine lost to #2 Delaware on yesterday, 26-7. #1 Appalachian State narrowly defeated #16, Elon, 34-31. Saturday's game results for FCS Top 15 teams are listed below.
