The Eagles have started the season 0-2 and are searching for answers offensively After losing a tough game to Virginia Tech on Saturday night, it will be interesting to see how Boston College bounce back this week. There is a lot of frustration in that room right now. UMass lost 55-10 to Toledo in a game that quite frankly, they weren’t very competitive in. Don Brown and his staff have…
Week two of the college football season is in the books. The week will be best remembered for Holy Cross’ Hail Mary win at Buffalo and the continued struggled of both Boston College and UMass who currently sit at 0-2. As always, there is once again major movement in our poll. The Ivy League teams dropped this week but that could change with them opening their seasons this week. Here…

Jalen Coker had a once-in-a-lifetime moment on Saturday when he hauled in the game winning 46-yard touchdown pass from Matt Sluka as time expired in a 37-31 win over Buffalo. The victory not only gave Holy Cross a 2-0 start to the season and…
The URI, Bryant football rivalry is relatively new but you couldn’t tell last night if you watched these two teams play. The two programs have respect for each other but they also want to be the top program in the state. URI once again took a step towards claiming that title with a 35-21 win over the Bulldogs. Bryant came out flying and struck first when quarterback Zevi Eckhaus hit…
Photo – UConn Athletics By Jake Klein NEFJ Correspondent EAST HARTFORD – The book on Syracuse says that if you stop Sean Tucker, you’ll win. Entering Saturday, the Orange were 2-5 since the start of 2021 in games in which Tucker failed to reach 150 yards from scrimmage. UConn held him to 129 yards Saturday at Rentschler Field, but it didn’t matter as the Orange hammered the Huskies in front…

The little school on the hill in Worcester gained national attention on Saturday night when Matt Sluka hit Jalen Coker on a Hail Mary throw from 46 yards out with no time on the clock. Coker somehow came down with the ball despite being in a…
EASTON – Two plays. That’s all it took for Stonehill to make Post’s life miserable on Saturday afternoon. The Skyhawks took the field at W.B. Mason Stadium for the first time as a Division 1 FCS program and didn’t disappoint the large crowd on hand, building a 41-point lead after one quarter and never looking back, destroying the Eagles 76-0. Stonehill is now 2-0 and has two weeks off before…
After a fantastic Week 1 slate that saw some big wins and a few surprises, Week 2 should be another good one with 12 of the 16 local teams in action. Ivy League fans still have to wait a bit longer as Brown, Yale, Dartmouth and Harvard get going next Friday. FRIDAY Assumption @ Merrimack (7 PM) – The atmosphere in Duane Stadium for the opener a week ago was…
Week one of the college football season is in the books. Here is our first Division One poll for the season. 1. Holy Cross: The Crusaders could have played a cleaner game against Merrimack but still picked up a 31-17 win. A trip to Buffalo is up next for the boys in purple. 2. Harvard: IDLE. Crimson open the season a week from Friday night at home against Merrimack. 3….
Photo courtesy of Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports Week one of the college football season is in the books and there is plenty to take about. The week started off with three great games on Thursday night but Saturday was a different story as B.C and UMass lost their season openers. Holy Cross and UConn both won so that salvaged the week. Here are ten thoughts on the week that was….
