Villanova 21 Richmond 20
Villanova Coach Andy Talley on the win at Richmond
“The game pretty much went accordingly to what we expected coming in. I thought both teams were very evenly matched and we were comfortable playing here because we thought we had a chance to get after (Richmond) if we could shut down their running game. We maybe had an opportunity to close it out earlier but Richmond is a very good team and they were everything we thought they would be. We have a lot of respect for them. They did a great job. The game could have gone either way.”
Wide Receiver Brandyn Harvey on the game winning catch
“The play was designed to go to me. (Whitney) saw me and I was open. I should probably have caught the pass with two hands. Once I made the catch, I knew someone was behind me, but I just wanted to make sure I scored.”
Quarterback Chris Whitney on the game winning touchdown pass
“On 4th and 10 I didn’t have much choice, but we wanted to go to him. We have counted on Brandyn all year. I thought I might have overthrown it at first, but I am glad it worked out.”
Penn 42 Princeton 7
Penn Coach Al Bagnoli on Penn’s performance
“It was the best complete ame we played all year. We were sound, we didn’t have a turnover, we capitalized on turnovers. From top to bottom it was as a complete a game we played all year.”
Quarterback Kyle Olson on his performance
“The whole key was to try and manage (the game), and stay within yourself. We were doing what we are capable of doing.”
Corner Back Chris Wynn on his interception return for a touchdown
” I just kept watching the quarterback. I thought that the quarterback’s ball sailed on him, then the ball went right in my lap.”
Temple 34 Miami (Ohio) 32
Temple Coach Al Golden on getting more come from behind wins
“The look on everybody’s face was let’s get the ball and go. Let’s go win. They are competitive now. They understand. Just keep working hard and try to make plays at the end. There is gong to be a bunch of these. We got to keep working hard and try to come out on top.”
Kicker Brandon Mc Manus on his game winning kick
“That was the first ever of my career. Bernard (Pierce) got us down there, and the snapper and the holder did a great job. I had to keep my composure and stay calm.”
Defensive Lineman Andre Neblett on the significance of the winning streak and bowl eligibility
“It’s big. We haven’t done it here in a long time. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for 3 years, It means a lot for me and the team.”

You have to give Talley credit…he has been there from the ‘2nd beginning” and has had them more then competitive from the start. Its a testament to him that he did not use VU as a stepping stone to a flashier job, but rather made a committment that has worked out well for everyone.

Well said. Andy Talley is a valued member of the university community. He has represented Villanova well, and given them a quality program. He is well liked and very respected. And, simply, Talley feels the same way toward Villanova.
