The Holy Cross football team is slated to take the field against Colgate this Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 1 PM, as the Crusaders look to translate recent momentum into a win.
In their most recent contest, the Crusaders scored a touchdown and accumulated 313 yards, a performance that underscored the effectiveness of their offensive scheme and highlighted the strides made during the offseason.
Strategic Focus Ahead of Saturday Clash
The groundwork for that success was laid during the offseason, when the squad devoted extensive time to route‑running drills and chemistry‑building exercises, a point emphasized by tight end Drae Tyme, who said the summer work directly contributed to their recent output, and by wide receiver Myles Abernathy, who noted that the training strengthened team relationships.
Head Coach Dan Curran has made stopping Colgate’s rushing attack a top priority, noting that the opponent’s tailback logged over 200 yards in its last game, and the Crusaders must tighten their red‑zone efficiency to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
With the offensive line clicking and the defense poised to limit the run, the team believes the combination of preparation and execution will allow them to regain control of the game and secure a decisive victory.
