The 1925 Villanova Wildcats football team was an American football team that represented Villanova University as an independent during the 1925 college football season. The team compiled a 6–2–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 107 to 40.[1] In March 1925, the school hired Harry Stuhldreher as its new head coach.
