...games against their Patriot League brethren, the Ivies came out on top in all six, including four road victories...
...versatile Silva—whom Murphy says “may be the best player in the Patriot League”—is the focal point of the Holy Cross offense. Remarkably, in the season opener against Sacred Heart, he alone ran for three touchdowns, then caught a touchdown pass and threw for two scores (both to quarterback John O’Neil, thanks to some creative play-calling...
...OUTLOOK The Crusaders have already equaled their Patriot League win total from 2004 with last week’s 48-6 romp over Georgetown. A rough road lies ahead in the next few weeks with a visit from Harvard preceding a treacherous road trip that includes games against Delaware, Yale, and Lehigh.

With Bucknell and Fordham struggling early on, the Crusaders should put together a 3-3 league record and a 5-6 mark overall...
...OUTLOOK The Mountain Hawks should return to the top of the Patriot League mountain this year, after ceding the title to Lafayette last season.

Lafayette won’t be able to top Lehigh...
