• The previous two Wildcats home games in the series had been played at PPL Park in Chester in 2011 and 2013, making this game the Blue Hens first visit to Villanova Stadium since 2009. The attendance of 11,779 on Parents' Weekend at Villanova was the largest since the 2011 home opener against Monmouth (11,817). The Wildcats have won 11 of their last 13 home games at Villanova Stadium since the start of the 2013 campaign.

• Senior quarterback John Robertson and redshirt freshman quarterback Zack Bednarczyk each tallied both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the game.

• Villanova opened the game's scoring with a six-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback John Robertson just 3:01 into the contest. This is the fastest into a game that the Wildcats have scored points since the Morgan State game last season (October 25, 2014). In that game, Villanova scored a touchdown just 1:19 into the contest. The early score in that game came on a 56-yard touchdown run by Robertson.

This is the second time that Robertson and Gulyas have connected for a pass play of at least 70 yards. In the FCS playoffs against Liberty last season (December 6, 2014), Robertson threw a school-record 87-yard pass to Gulyas. Neither of those plays resulted in a touchdown, however. The longest touchdown reception of Gulyas' career is 66 yards against Penn last season (September 27, 2014).
