RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Stacy Tutt connected on a 5-yard pass to Matt Hale early in the fourth quarter Saturday giving Richmond a lead and they scored following a pair of Villanova turnovers to beat the Wildcats 38-20 in Atlantic 10 Conference football. Hale's touchdown capped an 87-yard drive for the Spiders in which Tutt connected on 6 of 7 passes for 70 yards. The Spiders (2-3, 2-1) took over on the Villanova 20 following Wildcat Frank Jankowski's fumble with 5:44 remaining. Johnny Campbell had sacked Jankowski and recovered the fumble. David Freeman scored from the 6, giving the Spiders a 31-20 lead with 4:25 remaining. On the first play of Villanova's next drive, Brian Burnette intercepted a Wildcat pass and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown. The teams began as if it was going to be an offensive showcase, scoring three touchdowns in the first 3:52 of the game.
