Not that you could ever take this to the bank but Jake is listed as a starter on the 2-deep. If he can do that, not only would his playing ability enhance the defense but the leadership and emotional boost to our defense as well will make a huge difference. Depth chart means very little. Sluka was listed the starter in the Fordham and Lehigh weeks. |

Hence the starting phrase can’t take it to the bank.

I hope he can play. Believe he was but know he’s going to do his best to play. |

Hoyas are rooting for Lehigh also as it would give them a chance to "reverse the curse" and be co-champs of the PL if they get by HC. It should be a typical chilly competitive last game of the regular season against a Jesuit rival.

So is the following true: if HC wins today we may or may not get a playoff bid but we can say we're Co-PL champs and have won (or shared it) five years in a a row?

Weather in the Northeast? Sunny now in DC I'm going to the game. Rain has stopped in central CT, temps in the 50's. It looks like it will be dry in Worcester at game time, with temps starting to fall a bit. |

Do you remember George Carlin doing his bit about "Eyewitness Weather?"  For your edification: www.holycross.edu/webcams/hoganAppears rain has stopped and just cloudy. Come on, Holy Cross! If you won't put a webcam on the quad as I've asked for multiple times, how about one atop Fitton Field? Can't be that hard to do. |

As game time approaches I just find myself leaning into thinking this is gonna be a battle into the 4th Q. Question marks still about Sluka’s throwing shoulder, no Fuller, no Christo. On D, I imagine Jake will play unless he’s scheduled for surgery but at what percent? I also believe a couple other guys might be out again on Defense.
Can the young DBs reverse what happened v Lafayette against an effective Georgetown passing game? We’re about to find out.

I’m hoping this one is a one-sided W for us - have to believe GU also has some injuries that will effect them - the HC team I saw at WP was a very good one

With the exception of Colgate where the boat racing began in the 2nd Q (7-7 after Q1, 27-7 at half) and Bucknell were we started fast and were up 34-14 at half. It would be something if the team that played in the second half of the Yale game showed up for all 4 quarters today. |

Gameday just did a segment on H-Y and Laffy-Lehigh. Goodman looks primed for an upset

Somehow I think Sluka will find a way to win this game which could possibly be his last game at HC.
So it is all up to the Mountain Hawks to come through for us. Fingers crossed!

Gut feeling....which have been mostly right this year (check my preseason pick on wins this year) is that we take a year's worth of frustration out on the Hoyas tomorrow. Winning something like 45-10. Patting my back...this was nevah a game and the final could have been much worse..we sort of skated in the 2nd half. |

Oddly enough, Georgetown kind of skated in the 2d half also. No sense of urgency. Their offense looked like they were trying to eat up the clock. |

Anybody read the league rules about league championships
Co champions?
Auto bid winner is champion?
I don’t know but if it isn’t spelled out that we are co-champions how does the PL respond and did we just declare it to make it true
Any insights?
Also if anybody stayed for the senior day celebration,is there anything to report

PL Rules absolutely call teams tied for first place Co-Champions.
The tie breaking is used to determine the auto-bid to the tournament only. And first tie-breaker is head-to-head record,

CHC8485 is right on. There is a difference between the PL Championship nd the auto-bid to the NCAA FCS Tournament. HC is league co-champion and Lafayette won the bid on a tie breaker.
