Matthew Mercurio kicked a 28-yard field goal on the final play of the game and Connor Watkins threw three touchdown passes to propel Villanova to a 31-29 victory over Albany on Saturday.

Reese Poffenbarger answered with two touchdown passes to Thomas Greaney 61 seconds apart - covering 4 and 5 yards - and Albany (1-6, 0-4) grabbed a 29-28 lead with 53 seconds left to play. That was enough time for the Wildcats, who used Watkins' 23-yard pass to Dez Boykin and defensive-holding and pass-interference penalties to keep the drive alive and set up Mercurio's winning kick.

Villanova jumped out to a 21-0 lead on TD Ayo-Durojaiye's 70-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and Watkins' scoring tosses to Jaaron Hayek covering 18 yards and a 20-yarder to Pringle in the second. Albany didn't get on the scoreboard until Poffenbarger hit Brevin Easton for a 26-yard touchdown with 6 seconds left in the first half. Poffenbarger's 1-yard touchdown run and Elijah Hills' sack of Watkins for an 11-yard loss and a safety left the Great Danes trailing 21-16 after three quarters.
