Of course, seven sacks do help to reset the balance.

Keep the ball, grind out the yards.

HC now has over 500 yards of offense. How many points did Lafayette score against Fordham? 41?

HC hosted Western Carolina in the last century in the 1-AA playoffs. The announcers are an encyclopedia of HC sports in this century but missed that detail.

Looks like HC managed to break the Lafayette winning streak of 2 straight at Fitton.

If HC plays pass defense like that next week it could be very costly. I wouldn't read into the second half of the 4th quarter. We have our twos and threes in the game and Lafayette still had their ones.

But for that one pick 6 on a deflection, the HC defense was most impressive!!!

Defense looks great. Offense will need to keep things rolling as 35 points will probably be needed to win the game. Not sure how solid Fordham defense is but the running game and receivers looked solid today. Should be a solid win just need to execute bring home PLT!

PL Scores: HOLY CROSS 35 / Lafayette 10 - FINAL Fordham 41 / Georgetown 6 Lehigh 31 / Bucknell 6 Advantage HC if you agree Laffy is #3 best team in the PL and Georgetown is in the crowded league cellar.

Lafayette had 499 yards of offense against Fordham. Announcers for Fordham game were ramping up next week's HC/FU game. They even pointed out that a win may not wrap it up for Fordham since Colgate only has 1 loss and they believe Colgate can beat Fordham in their season finale to. create a 3 way tie.
HC needs to win out for the remaining two games, that could mean a playoff game once again at Fitton.

HC needs to win out for the remaining two games, that could mean a playoff game once again at Fitton. Colgate would need to beat both Lafayette and Fordham. Chance of that is about 0.1%. And if they did create a 3-way tie, they would not prevail in the tiebreaker.

Note that I was saying what the announcers said...not my take. These are guys who also said after Fordham came back last week that the Rams were a "clear favorite" to take the Patriot League championship. (At that game they did not even mention Holy Cross.)

Chesney giving Wiegel a few reps at QB. Pesansky, with the headset, remained on the sidelines. I think Wiegel doesn't get to make a road trip, and 'knock on wood', Pesansky might get reps against Bucknell.
Forecast for next Saturday in the Bronx is heavy rain.
I think today was HC's most solid win of the year.

Tuned in to the beginning of the Fordham at Georgetown replay. The announcers made their pre-game remarks on an outdoor concourse of some type high above the bowl like field. Very nice visual. All of the PL football facilities have attractive features but a special tip of the cap to Georgetown and Fordham who have carved out functional modern multi-sport facilities on campus in two of the most expensive cities in the world.

How about this stat HC’s 4 PL opponents are averaging 28.8 yards rushing vs HC Also, 7 different defenders recorded a sack today
Jake should be PL Defensive PoW, or Jason, or ? Ayir should get the offensive award, or Marco, or Peter, or (fill in the blank) Devin could get the Special teams award

A beatdown today.
Defense is a beast. Peter Oliver is running unbelievably.

Perfect day for college football in November. Always good to beat up on the Pards. 500 yards of offense. A fumble, an INT and a missed field goal took points off the board. Overall great win on Senior day. Oliver was really good in this game. I thought the attendance for a November game was not bad at all. I saw a lot of HC students at the game sitting in the end zone during the 2nd quarter. Most since the homecoming game. 7-2!!!!!!!!!
See you in the Bronx, rain or shine!
Go Cross Go ✝️✝️✝️
