PL Preview Continues... #6 Holy Cross

The preview is now up: link (http://colgate13.blogspot.com)

When doing my research I shuffled my order around a bit, so Holy Cross at #6 might be a surprise. After looking harder at rosters, I think it's justified.

Without Prydatko and Taylor getting fifth years, you'd be reading about Fordham! With them, that's two proven players that can 'beat up' on the second tier teams. :nod:

Another well done, Mr. 13. Not much for me to contest in this write-up. I will mention however, that last year's HC win @ Lehigh was a fluke: played in the all-time record 24 hour rainfall for Bethlehem (10 - 13 inches, depending on where you were standing), with Lehigh fumbling something like 10 times. Although both teams played on the same field, it took something truly out of the ordinary for this upset to occur.

Oh yeah, without that rain and those fumbles, Lehigh might have been playing on Thanksgiving weekend instead of Colgate - or instead of Lafayette. At the very least we would have had a muddled mess with 3 teams at 6 - 1 in the League.

Nicely done, 13.

We woulda beaten Lehigh if they hadn't lost to HC. After we beat 'em, it's clear we were just overconfident and didn't think we needed to play our best :D
