Crusaders Cross Up Crimson, 35-20

Casey at the Bat

However, Holy Cross retaliated with the play of the day.

Fourth-and-three from the 32, a Holy Cross drive looked like it would bog down after a delay of game penalty. But the daring Crusaders took the gamble, going for it on fourth-and-eight.

Wiley hit running back Darin Cromwell with a pass at the line of scrimmage. The diminutive speedster (5-ft., 9-in., 170-lbs.), shed a pair of tackles before dashing 37 yards for the score.

"I thought it was going to turn into a big play for us," Harvard Coach Joe Restic said.

Instead, the Crusaders were on the way to a 21-point first half.

Heading into the heart of the Ivy schedule, the Crimson must come to grips with itself.

Is it the squad which dominated the Lions? Or is it the team that was hopeless against UMass two weeks ago and Holy Cross in Saturday's first half.

Was the second-half performance a sign of things to come?

Or could it possibly be all three?
