Villanova became grounded when it counted. During a turnover-filled performance, the Wildcats avoided miscues and marched 84 yards on 18 plays late in the game, all on the ground. <\/p>\n
Quarterback John Robertson's 1-yard touchdown run with 1 minute, 12 seconds left capped the drive, giving the Wildcats a 29-22 win over visiting Liberty in a second-round Football Championship Subdivision playoff game. <\/p>\n
Villanova (11-2) will host Sam Houston State, guided by former Rowan and Delaware coach K.C. Keeler, in a quarterfinal either Friday or Saturday. <\/p>\n
\"This is a team that has carried us through the rough spots, especially when you come up against a team like Liberty who are as good a team as we played this year,\" Villanova coach Andy Talley said. <\/p>\n
Before that 7-minute, 11-second drive, Villanova committed four turnovers. <\/p>\n
With Villanova's kicking woes this season, Talley said he wasn't going for a field goal on that drive. The Wildcats' Kevin Monangai gained 3 yards on a fourth and 1 on the Liberty 8-yard line to extend the drive. <\/p>\n
\"It was awesome watching our offensive line push those guys around. They really stepped up for us,\" Robertson said about the final drive. <\/p>\n
The offensive line on that drive consisted of tackles Vince Kowalski and Brad Seaton, center Ross Hall, and guards Kyle Wallace and Peter Sotiriou. <\/p>\n
