UNH @ Holy Cross Game Thread

[UNH Fanboi]

Can't believe it's already here. Should be an interesting game and a barometer for where each team stands.

[dgreco]

Any video feeds for this game?

[RichH2]

Will UNH be able to score? HC D is always solid if not particularly fast.. Really cant believe season here. Thank God.

[NHwildEcat]

Any video feeds for this game?

There is on the HC site...$8.95 to watch though.

Can anyone from Holy Cross comment on the quality? I will pay if the quality is better than a webcam from 1995 fixed on the 50 yard line.

[Fordham]

Let's go HC!!!

They do a pretty good job. Not sure if they'll have audio but the video feed is nearly always good. There may be some other "pirated" feeds out there...not sure, as I haven't gotten into season-mode viewing shape yet.

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

xbeerchugxI'll be heading down there in about 4 hours

I might try to hold out for a pirated feed before I opt for the paid version.

[Mattymc727]

UNH players out:

DT Sean Mccann (Knee)
DE Randi Vines (Knee)
S Tre Williams (Concussion)
OL Walter Mccarthy (Concussion)
OL George Kallas (Concussion)

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I think tonight's game will be much lower scoring than last years 38-32 shootout. Holy Cross has the horses to win this one!

[UNH Fanboi]

40 mins til kickoff!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

who's doing the updating?

[Mattymc727]

I will do a little, maybe when the drives are over. I have the holy cross feed, it looks great.

[Mattymc727]

Holding call stalls UNH as they go 3 and out. They punt, holy cross ball at their 10.

[Mattymc727]

penalty stalls holy cross, as they go 3 and out. They punt

[Mattymc727]

TD UNH! UNH oline just dominated that drive, Nico walks in for the td. Blocked kick though, 6-0 UNH

[Mattymc727]

Holy Cross forced to punt again. UNH ball at their own 13.

[Mattymc727]

UNH goes for it on fourth at the Holy Cross 25 and doesnt get it.

[Mattymc727]

Holy Cross marches right down the field for a TD

[Mattymc727]

7-6 Holy Cross

[UNH Fanboi]

Holy Cross' play-by-play announcer sounds like an 80 year old robot.

[Mattymc727]

UNH TD! Vailas to Orlando

[UNH Fanboi]

TD UNH! 44 yd wide open.

[Mattymc727]

13-7 UNH

[Mattymc727]

UNH already switching QB's, both look very good so far. No huddle offense is really moving

[Mattymc727]

UNH interception at the Holy Cross 40

[UNH Fanboi]

INT by Dontra Peters! Ball was tipped by lineman as it was being thrown. UNH ball on HC 40.

[Mattymc727]

UNH TD!

[Mattymc727]

two point conversion failed.... 19-7 UNH

[NHwildEcat]

UNH recovers a HC fumble...over 2 minutes to try and score before the half!

[Mattymc727]

UNH punt to the HC 19. 1 min left

[Mattymc727]

HC moves straight down the field to the UNH 15 with less than 20 secs left

[Mattymc727]

HC field goal good. UNH leads 19-10 at the half

[unhfan1]

Watching the Holy Cross feed and listening to the game on the UNH feed. Lipman and Chandler
are a HUGE upgrade over previous seasons.

[Mattymc727]

Im doing the same thing. Chandler is a big upgrade, plus he still gets the behind the scenes with the team and thats always good input.

[Pard4Life]

Wow... yahoo lists this game as 6-0 UNH... terrible.

[NHwildEcat]

I wish the UNH Radio could keep up with the game...I don't like the late return and then the "oh this play happened and then this happened"

[Mattymc727]

UNH went for it on their own 40 and didnt get it. HC ball.

[Mattymc727]

HC goes 3 and out. Punts the ball to the UNH 2.

[NHwildEcat]

99 Yard drive...TD UNH!!!

[Mattymc727]

UNH TD! UNh marched 99 yards for the td. HC has no answer for this no huddle offense right now

[Mattymc727]

And of course UNH misses the xp so its 25-10 UNH

[NHwildEcat]

Did he really miss the XP? What is up with that?

I wish I could hear, but the Radio keeps cutting out...annoying.

25-10 score...

[Mattymc727]

the UNH radio needs to get their stuff together. They go to commercial during game and stay on the field during breaks.....amateur hour

[Go...gate]

Thanks for the updates!

[NHwildEcat]

...and again! This is pathetic...I know there are no media timeouts, but come on...

[NHwildEcat]

I gave up the UNH broadcast...switched to HC radio...at least it comes in...

[Mattymc727]

UNH starts the 4th on HC 5 yard line. Still 25-10

[Mattymc727]

Another UNH TD! Goldrich looks phenominal, its as if Decker never left, plus the defense improved. Still cant tell if UNH is really good or HC is not very good. 32-10 UNH

[NHwildEcat]

TD to Orlando 32-10!

[NHwildEcat]

Another UNH TD! Goldrich looks phenominal, its as if Decker never left, plus the defense improved. Still cant tell if UNH is really good or HC is not very good. 32-10 UNH

HC returned a ton of their team...I think it might be a combo of our defense improving/new QB working well, and a minor step back by HC.

[Mattymc727]

UNH Interception. Many Asam

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

This is a bit surprising. HC went toe-to-toe with UNH in Durham last year and returned a strong nucleus.

HC could be looking at a rough start to the year given their schedule.

UNH D was terrible last year. They seem much improved.

[Mattymc727]

UNH TD!

[Mattymc727]

and ANOTHER missed XP. UNH leads 38-10 4th quarter

[NHwildEcat]

Why is it so hard to connect on an XP? Reminds me of December.

[UNH Fanboi]

He must have the yips.

[NHwildEcat]

He must have the yips.

Seems like it...I think it is time to split the duties and see what our other options are. At least until he can get himself back under control...not going to hurt us tonight, but as we get rolling into the season you better believe it will cost us.

[Mattymc727]

HC cheap shot on UNH. UNH DT Johnson is down hurt on the play and hes not moving....

[Mattymc727]

OK he walks off the field with assistance...seems to be holding his arm

[Mattymc727]

After the 15 yard penalty, HC has to punt

[NHwildEcat]

No need for any plays like that in a game that is already decided like this...

[Mattymc727]

UNH switches QB mid drive, never seen that before

[Mattymc727]

After 2 penalties on the oline, UNH has to punt

[Mattymc727]

backups are in. UNH is playing true freshman hayden knudson

[Mattymc727]

hc touchdown.....38-17 UNH 1:30 to go

[R3TRO]

True freshman Dan Rowe played all game. Really bummed about that cheap shot. Bad sportsmanship from a team that was clearly outmatched. HC gets a TD with 3rd and 4th stringers in.

[NHwildEcat]

Great start to the season! Now, let's go knock off Minny next weekend! Thankfully on National TV...I'll have the DVR set up!

[UNH Fanboi]

All in all a great start to the season. I feel a little more optimistic than I did 3 hours ago.

[Mattymc727]

FINAL UNH wins 38-17

[FurmanWins!!]

Perfect weather and attendance was only 12,291, where is that Holy Cross guy who told me they were gonna get 16,000+ xrotatehx

[grayghost06]

I'm sure it was half price pitcher night in Worcester...still a decent crowd though.

[Sader87]

Disappointing attendence number....no excuses FU Wins...people have "tuned out" Holy Cross football since we went non-scholarship. Hopefully they will come back in better numbers with the return of scholarships starting with next year's freshmen class.

[Twentysix]

Good job UNH. Minnesota just beat UNLV on the road, which isnt a great accomplishment but it is something.

[UNHFan]

I was at the game and I was disappointed with the turn out also. Proud of the UNH fans though we had a great crowd on the Visiting side.

I feel good knowing that Andy Vallas can come off the Bench next week lead this team if he has to Ill leave it that.

Also Mike MacArthur was a bright spot his 2 Touchbacks with a mild wind was great to see. I know 2 missed extra points, 1 Horrible snap & 1 bad snap. Just saying he was a nice surprise.

Dontra Peters? On covering recievers a C we where lucky on too many badly thrown passes. On pursuit of anyone with a football?? A+ Fantastic on the Blitz's he caused havoc in the pocket.

Matt Evans? WAS MATT EVANS! Need I say more?

OK Now going to have some breakfast and watch Minn UNLV..hoping Minn sucks again this year :)

GO CATS!

[croutonthegreat]

Next week w/ MINN is on national tv? What channel is it on?

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

The Big Ten Network

[croutonthegreat]

Thx

[Bison77]

Great start to the season! Now, let's go knock off Minny next weekend! Thankfully on National TV...I'll have the DVR set up!

We played them last year and won - Key to game is to confuse the qb. He's not very smart, likes to run but can't hit a bulls *** with the pass. You need to put pressure on him and he'll fold like a cheap suit.

I think we may be overmatched regardless, but we may give them a game. UNH had 3 sacks tonight and multiple pressures that lead to interceptions, however that was against HC not Minny. Lets hope Minny is overlooking us!

[clearthinker]

Where is Crusader 11 when we really need him?
