...other side of the ball, after Gruber’s early fumble, the Holy Cross offense couldn’t muster anything against the Crimson defense. The unit that was supposed to miss its leader and anchor, Dante Balestracci ’04, looked perfectly in-sync with junior linebacker Matt Thomas and Everett flying all over the field. The linebacker duo combined for nine tackles and put constant pressure on O’Neil, who finished the day with only 70 yards in the air. The tandem twice forced the Crusaders’ quarterback to throw the ball before...
After Bush joined the Guard in Texas in 1968, he received positive evaluations. But records clearly show that his performance dropped off suddenly in 1972. After he transferred to an Alabama unit so he could work on the Senate campaign of a family friend, Bush began missing regular Guard duty. Only one member of Bush's unit has come forward to say he saw Bush reporting for duty in Alabama, but his recollection places Bush in the state before Bush was officially assigned there. A new TV commercial produced by the Democratic-allied group Texans for Truth features a member...
...this year, Murphy hopes that freshman kicker Matt Schindel will make fourth down decisions much easier. Schindel, along with junior punter Mike King, will lead a largely retooled special teams unit for the Crimson that will be expected to improve markedly over its play in recent years...
Holy Cross features a 5-2 defense that places a premium on winning the battle at the line of scrimmage and snuffing out rushing attempts before they gain any steam. The unit, keyed by linebacker and team-leading tackler David Fitzpatrick, has enjoyed mixed results against the run thus far this season, surrendering 139 yards in its season opener against Duquesne before holding San Diego to just 79. But despite the statistical improvement, the Crusaders fared poorly last weekend with their backs against the wall, surrendering two rushing touchdowns from inside the 10-yard line. With a backfield arsenal...
...last time Harvard and Holy Cross met, wide receiver Brian Edwards joked that he and his unit had been told by Harvard coach Tim Murphy to pray for man coverage. The football gods obliged and Edwards exploded for 152 yards on seven receptions, including one score, emphatically announcing his ascension to the upper echelon of Ivy receivers. The Crusaders would be foolish to commit such an egregious error twice, but it remains to be seen whether any strategy can prop up Holy Cross’ overmatched secondary against the Crimson’s passing game...
