Live updates: Villanova at Penn
It's still a game the Quakers desperately want to win, and it's still a game the Wildcats can't afford to lose.
Time: 3:30 p.m. EDT
Venue: Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa.
TV/Radio: The Comcast Network (Scott Graham and Kevin Reilly)/WPEN 950-AM (Joe Eichhorn and Ryan Fannon)/WFIL 560-AM (Brian Seltzer and Hench Murray)
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.
I'll be posting live updates and commentary throughout the game below. We'll see whether Penn can put an end to its 101-year losing streak against Villanova.
And wouldn't it be something if they did so on the same day that Temple finally beats Penn State? I'm not saying it will happen, but it could. Just saying.
