A guest post by the Inquirer's Marc Narducci, who covered the Penn-Villanova game for the paper. Read his recap here.
Penn football coach Al Bagnoli wanted to make one thing perfectly clear following Saturday's 24-8 loss to Villanova at Franklin Field.
"There is no quarterback controversy," he said.

This is, admittedly, the lesser of the two games on the local college football scene this afternoon. It's not even the marquee game in the Ivy League today.
But as Mike Kern wrote in yesterday's Daily News, there's something to be said for the value of the Penn-Villanova series - especially with Temple and Villanova ending the Mayor's Cup series. It's still a game the Quakers desperately want to win, and it's still a game the Wildcats can't afford to lose.

UPDATE: Here's a column from The Inquirer's Mike Jensen assessing the move, including its impact on Villanova and Temple.
The Big East's efforts to remain among the elite conferences in college sports has suffered another big blow, as Notre Dame has announced it is joining the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Although independent in football, all of Notre Dame's other sports teams - most notably basketball - play in the Big East. This has brought some prominence to the conference in March, both on the men's and women's sides of the game.
