Jack Barnum made field goals of 41, 23 and 44 yards to help build a 22-7 lead. McQuaide found Colella for a 36-yard touchdown early in the fourth for a 19-point lead.
McQuaide, who threw for a career-high five touchdowns last week, was 15 of 22 with an interception. David Avit rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown for Villanova.
Jack Shields had a touchdown and an interception for Albany (1-7, 0-4). The Great Danes were held to 13 first downs and 154 total yards.
