VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — Pat McQuaide threw five touchdown passes and Obinna Nwobodo forced and returned a fumble for a touchdown to lead Villanova to a 56-14 rout over Coastal Athletic Conference foe Hampton on Saturday.
McQuaide was 10-of-13 passing for 166 yards and five scores, led by a 65-yard connection to Chris Colby. All five receiving touchdowns were to different receivers.
The FCS No. 15 Wildcats (5-2, 4-1) opened the game with six consecutive touchdown drives and shut out Hampton 49-0 in the first half.

The Pirates’ first points of the game came at the 6:42 mark in the third quarter on a 3-yard pass play from Davis to Gracen Goldsmith. Earl Woods III added a 66-yard rushing touchdown with 4:33 left in the game, comprising 24.4 percent of Hampton’s 270-yard offensive total.
Davis was 10-of-17 passing for 66 yards.
Both Jason Hall and Julian Talley were ejected for Villanova for targeting.
