The Football Notebook

Healing Ivy League Egos

Offensive Machines: Led by Yohe's 312 yards in the air, the Crimson racked 512 yards of total offense against the Minutemen. The most yards Harvard has ever piled up in one game is 550, set in 1977 against the Qaukers.

Yohe now has 3 233 career yards in 19 games as the Crimson's quarterback.

Tony Hinz, who ran for 105 yards and led all Crimson receivers with 157 against UMass, collected his career high in total offensive yards.

Holy, Holy Facts: Gordie Lockbaum is not around anymore, and the Holy Cross Crusaders are not dominating Divsion 1-AA football anymore, either.

For the first time since 1985, the Crusaders lost two consecutive games this year. Princeton almost handed Holy Cross its third straight loss last weekend.

One more inauspicious fact: quarterback Jeff Wiley has thrown nine interceptions in the Crusaders's first four games.

Where's Mickey Mouse? It felt like the Super Bowl last Saturday at The Stadium when the UMass marching band took the field at halftime.

This wasn't a band, it was a Walt Disney "Up With College Football" extravaganza. UMass even brought xylophones.

By the way, 7500 scpectators attended last Saturday's game. Five thousand were the UMass band.
