We’ve got another flawed policy that needs revisiting. This year’s terrific experience with 5th year players proves we (HC) can have non-medical 5th year players without our academic reputation collapsing. Once the Covid players cycle thru it’s time to institute a non-medical redshirt program. I think there is a better chance Hell will freeze over than HC instituting redshirting. President Rougeau seems a little more practical than some of his predecessors may have been in terms of what it takes to succeed in the world as it exists rather than the world as we wish it was.

Agree with 92, especially if the flow of dollars and applications increase the next two years

The few football players that I know who went a 5th year took a semester off. And, after they finish the fall semester so they can play football, they then are done with academics and come back in May/June to walk at graduation. They basically skip 2 spring semesters and attend 2 fall semesters. The skipped spring semesters aren't schollied. So, I believe it still was just 4 years of scholarship. But maybe I haven't thought that one through completely. I wonder if the league and NCAA will let a school finesse semesters like that. I assume they require each of the five seasons to count as using one full or partial scholarship. So if a player is held out of games as a freshman to preserve his eligibility but practices (how else is he going to develop) and is receiving a 50% scholarship, he counts as one half scholarship against the sixty full scholarship limit for each of the five seasons he is on the team and receiving an athletic scholarship. Of course I defer to Bison 137 for the definitive answer. I just don't see how you can have more than sixty full scholarship equivalents in any football season no matter how many spring semesters are taken off. Otherwise a school is giving a scholarship during five seasons but claiming it's only four.

Honestly believe Yale will be a big test. Expect Coach Chesney with the guys will stay grounded and clear-eyed about the task ahead of them. Celebrating gives way to the reality of hard work in preparation for what promises to be a tough challenge. GoCrossGo.

Yale will have team unity that is based on experienced returning players (unlike Buffalo who was talented but not yet in sync with each other). I look forward to a good game and to see just how this team takes to the challenge.

Keys to the game: Offense: HC O-Line vs Yale D-line = strength vs strength. Yale has 3 very good D-lineman. Can our OL, RBs, Coach Smith and Sluka get the run game going to open up what should be HC’s advantage in the pass game? Our WR vs their DB’s are likely out best advantage. If Sluka and them stay in sync, tough to stop for any FCS opponent. Defense: Yale O-line always big and nasty. They typically also have a good back. I’m sure whoever replaces Dudek can get it done. Does Terrell Prince being back help with the run fits? Can our undersized D-line get a push and free up Dobbs and LA to make plays at the line of scrimmage or for short gains? Tipton is an excellent WR and others are plenty good enough to get open if the QB has time. Can we get some pressure? The QB is also mobile (not the freak athlete of Sluk) but can hurt us both throwing and scrambling if we don’t get pressure and stay disciplined. Of course turnover margin, starting field position etc are table stakes against high quality opponents week in and week out.
FIGHT HARD FOR HOLY CROSS!

McLeod was a stud. I imagine this will be Yale's top back on Saturday: yalebulldogs.com/sports/football/roster/spencer-alston/18306

We’re early in the season and things could change, of course, but we see that Jordan Fuller has been getting a lot more touches (2X attempts per game vs 2021) than he did as a freshman. Will he be the featured running back on Saturday?

Doubtful Certainly Oliver will be given the starting spot After that, Fuller will be given a shot

Last season it seemed Fuller got in later in the game, especially around the goal line when defenses were tired and we used his power to get the necessary 3-5 yards into the end zone.
To my untrained eyes, he seems as powerful as Oliver. Would love to see them both in the backfield at the same time.
Pretty sure Chesney and Smith know how best to use him especially with a season of experience under his belt.

His dis-allowed TD against Buffalo showed some impressive leg strength............and determination. I don't think the Elis will be able to contain these two. And then there's Purdy - doing his James White thing out of the backfield. I'm looking for a bigger than expected MOV on Saturday..

Will he be the featured running back on Saturday? Last year v Yale Peter Oliver rushed 12 times for 62 yards. I think it is quite possible (as was the case v Buffalo last week) that we see Jordan Fuller with more touches than Peter Oliver. Both are capable backs. Yale may underestimate our running backs based on what they saw v Buffalo and key on Sluka, eventually make an adjustment, and that adjustment will free up Sluka running and passing.

Fuller really looked like he could be special based on the Buffalo game. Strong as an ox and seemingly a little more burst than Oliver. Hope they’re both awesome on Saturday.
