Head coach Chris Villarrail is trying to get his St. Francis team to a place they’ve only been one time in his 12-year tenure with the program: the FCS playoffs. The Red Flash (6-2) haven’t seen the postseason since 2016 but took a big step towards getting back this fall with a decisive win over Sacred Heart on Saturday.
Running back QuaSean Holmes and quarterback Cole Doyle wasted no time setting the tone on the ground for St. Francis. On the very play Holmes burst through the middle for a big 38-yard run and two plays later Doyle did the same down the sideline for a 34-yard score.
