...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...
...beyond Gruber, the Crusaders fail to muster much of a downfield threat. Confesor’s replacement, Bob Turkovich, has been largely ineffective this season, forcing O’Neil to look for additional passing options closer to the line of scrimmage. So far, that has meant more touches for running back Steve Silva, who averages over 100 yards of total offense per game thanks to two outings with at least 40 yards receiving. His able hands have provided a much-needed safety outlet for O’Neil—one which might be especially necessary this weekend when...
...momentum carried over to the fourth frame, as Harvard jumped out to an 11-5 lead. But the Crimson attack could only muster one kill over the next 14 points, allowing the Horned Frogs to wipe away the deficit and stake to a four-point lead of their own, 17-13. Harvard stayed with TCU the rest of the way, but could never chip away at the lead, falling by the same margin...

Otherwise these majestic creatures will end up living out their days in zoos--banished forever from the wild where they belong. --With reporting by Cathy Booth Thomas/Dallas and Simon Robinson/Johannesburg
...back off a bill shielding gun manufacturers from liability in lawsuits. And Frist last month had to pull from the floor a bill popular with business to limit class actions because of a flurry of Democratic amendments. The defeat of the gay-marriage amendment--which couldn't muster even a majority, much less the two-thirds needed--was another embarrassment. Frist press secretary Nick Smith blames the legislative failures on "Democrats more concerned about a political message in an election year." But if the legislative record doesn't improve after the Senate returns from its August recess, Frist could...
