ESPN RECAPVillanova escapes with 35-28 win over William & Mary
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Daniel Smith threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Dee Wil Barlee on fourth-and-goal with 1:59 left in the game and Villanova held off William & Mary 35-28 on Saturday. Villanova (6-0, 3-0 Colonial Athletic Association), ranked No. 5 in the STATS FCS Top 25, had its hands full with the upset-minded Tribe (2-4, 0-2). Kilton Anderson staked William & Mary to a 7-0 lead with a 12-yard TD pass to Kane Everson , capping a 12-play, 77-yard game-opening drive. After forcing a Villanova punt, the Tribe turned the ball over on their first play from scrimmage when Drew Wiley forced an Everson fumble after a catch and Nowooola Awopetu returned it eight yards to the William & Mary 17-yard line. Two plays later Justin Covington scored on a 3-yard run to knot the score at 7.
