After Holy Cross rallied to knot the score at 24, Crusader runningback Stephen Silva fumbled the ball at his own eight-yard line with just 1:24 remaining. The Toreros scored. Holy Cross returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards, but proceeded to call three unnecessary timeouts en route to the tying touchdown. This left San Diego enough time to drive for the game-winning score, a 26-yard pass to paydirt as time expired...
Holy Cross’ rushing attack features the same 1-2 combination smothered by the Crimson defense when the two squads last met. Steve Silva and Gideon Akande managed just 47 yards on 17 carries in Harvard’s 43-23 victory—a tandem effort abbreviated by the Crusaders’ decision to abandon the run altogether late in the game.

The Crimson recorded nine tackles behind the line of scrimmage and applied pressure in the backfield on virtually every...

...continent known for samba and tango, Chile is the sober exception. But not for long, according to Mario Pablo Silva, managing director of the Casa Silva winery in Chile's Colchagua Valley, whose family's once staid operation is poised to make winemaking more of a fiesta. "By September," Silva gushes, "we plan to offer a high-end hotel with a restaurant, polo games during tastings, Chilean rodeo and horseback riding" beneath the Andes. Casa Silva and many other Chilean wineries are partying because their high-stakes bet--a red-wine grape called Carmenere--is paying off. Brought to South...
