The first Ivy game of the weekend was played last night in a downpour at Harvard and the weather turned out to be the least of Holy Cross's problems as the Crimson slapped 49 points on the Crusaders ... in the first half! From the Boston Herald story about Harvard's 52-3 win:Senior quarterback Colton Chapple played only one half but completed 13-of-18 passes for 260 yards and four touchdowns. Chapple, who also scored on a 3-yard run in the second quarter, directed the Crimson to 9-for-9 in third-down conversions.Holy Cross quarterback Ryan Laughlin was 9-for-24 for 105 yards, with 65 of those yards coming on one play. Find the box score here. From the Boston Globe:
“It was a combination of us being completely in synch in the first half and playing against, quite frankly, a very banged-up Holy Cross squad,” said (Harvard coach Tim) Murphy.The Worcester Telegram story is here.
