It took a while, but Holy Cross earned its first victory of the year this past weekend. The Crusaders took down new Patriot League foe Richmond on the road with a true team effort, getting contributions in all three phases. Now, despite being 1-6, Dan Curran’s team is 1-1 in the league with an outside chance of keeping the dream alive for a share of a seventh straight league title…….

Joe Fagnano (23-31, 362 yards and 4 touchdowns) led the Huskies to a huge win over BC Saturday. Skyler Bell (10/125/1 TD) and Javonte Vereen (4/82/2 TDs) also had monster games as UConn finds itself one win away from another bowl bid. DUDES! Greg Gaines III was almost problem…
There’s a little bit of shifting going on this week after some surprising results over the weekend. We’ve currently got four teams that could realistically be playing more football after the final weekend in November. Here’s how the D1 New England college landscape looks to us heading into Week 8 of the season: 1. Harvard (5-0) – Ranked 17th in the AFCA Coaches Poll and the offense is nearly unstoppable…

St. Pierre hadn’t missed one as the head coach of the program for 11 years now and never missed one as a player at BC or in the NFL, but he just couldn’t get out of this pesky little commitment… That ‘commitment’ was enjoying a weekend…
FOXBOROUGH – A few weeks ago, there was quite a bit of talk about bad the Patriots had been at home in recent years. Then, New England hammered Carolina, went on the road for three weeks, won three straight and everyone believes they can now seriously compete in the AFC. But, New England is still 1-2 at Gillette Stadium this year. The Pats have just five wins at home over…
By Rob Gullo and Andy Close NEFJ Correspondents Many teams were on their byes this past weekend in the state of Connecticut for high school football, with not much movement in this week’s Top 25 poll. However, there was some action which saw a bit of a shakeup in the rankings. Here’s our latest poll: 1. New Canaan (5-0) – New Canaan is returning from its bye and hosts No….
On Friday night, Drake Maye quickly became the center of attention at halftime and into the third quarter during one of the best Massachusetts high school football games of the year. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed that other players were also in attendance for Catholic Memorial and Xaverian, but Maye was the only one brave enough to head down on the field for everyone to see. Maye showed up…
Image courtesy of Andy Lyons/Getty Images Not only has Mike Vrabel turned the Patriots around, he’s made them a contender in the AFC during a year where anything could be possible. We’re a long way from the postseason, but with the conference seemingly wide open (although, Kansas City looks like Kansas City again), the Patriots won their fourth straight game on Sunday, 31-13 over the Titans in convincing fashion. Mike…
UConn, Holy Cross, Harvard, CCSU, UNH and URI all had huge wins on Saturday – check out the Harvard, UConn and Brown stories on the homepage – while UMass melted down again (also on the homepage). Here’s everything you may have missed from Week 8 of New England D1 football: URI 58, Albany 17 The No. 15-ranked Rams hammered a bad Albany team on the road Saturday to remain unbeaten…
