Researchers’ Note: Thanks to wide receivers coach Brian Flinn and offensive coordinator Sam Venuto, both readers of X&O Labs, we were given total access inside the program at Villanova. Coach Flinn will be submitting two clinic reports in the future for X&O Labs - one on WR release techniques to negate press coverage and one on his "Peek" concept out of the Wildcats spread offense.
