Gearing Up For Holy Cross

In case you didn't have the time or inclination to watch the entire Holy Cross-Yale replay, here's a recap of sorts:


Dartmouth's game notes have been posted HERE.
If there were questions about the Holy Cross starting quarterback, the answer appears to be Geoff Wade, per a story by Jennifer Toland in the Worcester Telegram. (LINK)

From the story:
Holy Cross senior quarterback Geoff Wade really rises to the occasion against Ivy League opponents. 
Two seasons ago, while filling in for an injured Peter Pujals, Wade led the Crusaders to a win over nationally-ranked Harvard. 
Last Saturday, Wade, who began the year as junior Emmett Clifford’s backup but has played in every game, came in for Clifford late in the first quarter of HC’s game against Yale.
Wade completed 17 of 28 pass attempts for 242 yards, rushed for 70 yards and directed a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown drives to help lift the Crusaders past the defending Ivy League champions. HC won, 31-28, in overtime on freshman Derek Ng’s 45-yard field goal.

Just saw this video of Isiah Swann's interception against Georgetown that, along with the 41-0 final, helped him earn Ivy League defensive player of the year honors.
