Holy Cross took a 17-0 lead on a Daniel Porto field goal, Joe Townsend's 15-yard return of a punt block made by Lathan Croley and Clerveaux's 18-yard run. Clerveaux's 3-yard score made it 27-0 in the third quarter. The Crusaders' final touchdown came on Joe Pesansky's 12-yard pass to Byron Shipman after Cam Jones' interception at the Hoyas 20.
