A legitimate FCS contender every season now under head coach Bob Chesney, the Crusaders will hit the field at UConn on Saturday looking to open the season with a little bit of history. Holy Cross hasn’t beaten an FBS team since winning on the road at Army in 2002. It would be…

If you watched JJ Taylor at all during training camp or in any of the three preseasons games and don’t think he deserves a spot on this team I’m not sure what to tell you.
