The second round of the FCS playoffs are in the books and eight more teams got it done this weekend with several picking up milestone wins. Several quarterbacks, though, went down with injuries. Some teams were able to rally and win in spite of losing their signal-callers but others unraveled without them. When the dust from Saturday finally settled, the home teams all prevailed.

After a tight first half, the Crusaders ran away from New Hampshire in the final 30 minutes to earn a spot in the quarterfinals. Whether it was quarterback Matthew Sluka or running back Peter Oliver, Holy Cross’ rushing attack was clicking on all cylinders and the Wildcats couldn’t keep up.
