In their second game, Villanova trounced the Quakers at Villanova Stadium in a crosstown rivalry for the 12th consecutive season. Of the many shortcomings from Penn in the game, "all pale in comparison to what happened to Penn’s running game". They had a total of 21 carries for just 43 yards, averaging just over two yards per carry.Villanova's coach Andy Talley commented, "I just think our D-line played a little better than their O-line today." After the "reality check", the Quakers were set to begin their Ivy League slate.
