Coach Joe Restic was practically speechless in the press conference after the opening debacle against Holy Cross, but he should revive on Saturday. The Crimson's opponent, Northeastern, lost a tough one to Bridgeport, 10-7, in its opener...

"Eddie was white as a sheet," Bebe Rebozo, who was standing by, recalled; her father, Tricia said, was "speechless for a moment-you know how fathers are."
