Svicarovich Steps In
Saturday, he added an unofficial 14 stops, including a crushing hit on Kendy Hall on a quick pass to the right flat. He blitzed and tipped a second-down pass on the Crusaders' next possession and provided tight coverage to force a punt on the next play.
On another blitz, he teamed up with senior linebacker Isaiah Kacyvenski to smash quarterback Ryan Collar and force an incompletion, and they exchanged high-fives afterward.
In the third quarter, he stopped a draw for no gain and forced a two-yard loss on a screen. On Holy Cross's last-ditch drive, he stopped another run for a loss of one.
"He did not have a good spring," Harvard Coach Tim Murphy said. "He showed up in tremendous shape this fall, and we're very fortunate to have him."
With Kollar expected to be out until the Cornell game in two weeks, Svicarovich will have at least one more start to continue to impress.
