Our pass defense could be better. You know that Lehigh has 75 passing yards at the half right? Are they supposed to give up zero?

Both teams very chippy and hope that Chesney being a cooler customer than Gilmore will emphasize that we are the ones who don't lose our tempers and get unnecessary penalties.

We ought to do a lot better than 145 to 96 in total yardage in the second half.

Let's see if Oliver comes back in. Assume Sluka will be back at QB. Would like to see more Fuller (not over Oliver but over Purdy). We need to get the power game going.

How can TG tell his players to calm down and play the game under control when he is always yelling at the refs? Plus I didn't understand why Lehigh didn't have a more coherent approach to getting into field goal range at the end of the half. You watch Belichick for twenty years and you learn to expect coherent strategy at different points of time and distance. The sack/holding penalty ruined any chance Lehigh could get down the field...in fact, Holy Cross gave them the only chance they had to do something by taking those time outs.

One thing that have proves- time of possession is very often overrated.

One more prediction- the top of Coach Gilmore's head will blow off if there are many more penalties on Lehigh

3rd and 31. Saw a hs team last week convert a 4th and 40!
Our special teams players have their heads up their collective arses this game. Nearly a roughing-the-kicker there.

Nice anecdote about Chesney inviting Gilmore to Assumption games and practices.

So far it looks like halftime gave both teams time to cool down.

Not sure why Sluka is back in.

Somewhat understandable Lehigh's young team making penalties. We don't have that excuse.

Terrible approach to play calling returns when Sluka came back in. Lehigh is defending the r part of the rpo extremely well, especially when Sluka keeps it; and we keep calling it anyway.
And another special teams penalty costs HC 12 yards of field position.
We're keeping them in the ball game and that's when bad things happen.

No skin off Gilmore's nose to give Ches insights to help him get the job, but good point about the Intelligence. Winners don't miss small details on their way to the top. More power to them.

One nice memory I have of Goodman Stadium is all the kids sitting on that embankment during the 43-42 game.

TG actually likes/respects Chesney. When BC was announced, TG thought it was a very good hire on Holy Cross' part nd thought he'd be successful.
