In a commanding performance, the Villanova Wildcats trounced the Harvard Crimson 52-7 in the first round of the FCS playoffs. Led by quarterback Pat McQuaide, who threw for three touchdowns, and running back Isaiah Ragland, who rushed for 152 yards, Villanova asserted its dominance from the start. The game began with a 75-yard drive by Villanova, culminating in a 45-yard touchdown by Ragland. The Wildcats' defense then held Harvard to just four yards in five plays, forcing a punt. McQuaide capitalized on the opportunity with a 30-yard scoring pass to Lucas Kopecky, giving Villanova a 14-0 lead. As the game progressed, Villanova continued to pull away, with McQuaide throwing two more touchdowns in the second half. Despite a late touchdown by Harvard, the Wildcats' lead remained insurmountable. The Crimson's 6-yard touchdown by Jaden Craig to Jordan Harris was a rare bright spot for Harvard, which had not scored a postseason touchdown in 105 years. Villanova's victory marked a significant milestone for the team, which entered the playoffs as a 12-seed. The Wildcats will now face off against the third-ranked Lehigh Mountain Hawks on December 6, seeking to continue their winning streak in the FCS playoffs.
