PHILADELPHIA (AP) — John Robertson led the rally on Saturday as Villanova scored 23 unanswered points over eight minutes capped by Mark Hamilton's game-winning 24-yard field goal with a second to play in a 35-34 victory over Delaware at PPL Park.

With the comeback win, Villanova takes the Blue Trophy and ends Delaware's post-season hopes.

The Wildcats trailed 34-12 in the fourth quarter when Robertson found Joe Price for back-to-back touchdowns and Gary Underwood for a third. Villanova recovered Hamilton's onside kick with 1:45 left.

Trent Hurley was 19 of 26 for 231 yards for Delaware (7-5, 4-4). Michael Johnson finished with eight receptions for 127 yards and two touchdowns.
