Harvard Forced Five Turnovers, Stuns #6 Holy Cross 38-28

On a day of FCS craziness, one of the wackiest results came in Massachusetts on Saturday afternoon between Harvard and Holy Cross. The Crusaders, ranked #6 in the national polls, were expected to roll the visiting Crimson. Tim Murphy’s squad, however, had other plans and sent Holy Cross packing with its second loss of the season and the first against an FCS opponent since the playoffs last year.

Harvard started fast, scoring a touchdown on their opening drive. Cooper Barkate, the sure-handed receiver, mixed it up and ran in for an eight-yard touchdown to start the scoring barrage for the Crimson.
