Many felt that this would be a special season for Holy Cross and so far they’ve been right. After upsetting FBS Buffalo last week on a miraculous Hail Mary, the #13 Crusaders (3-0) picked up another big win on Saturday, this time over Yale out of the Ivy League. The 24-point victory over the Bulldogs made it very evident that Holy Cross isn’t slowing down as Patriot League play approaches.
It wasn’t so much dominance by the Crusaders, though, that defined the start of the game. It was more so missed opportunities by Yale. On their first drive, the Bulldogs offense marched down into Holy Cross territory with relative ease but on a fourth and short, quarterback Nolan Grooms connected on a pass to David Pantelis but it was short of the first down.
