Holy Cross quarterback David Lynch and receiver Myles Abernathy build chemistry

Holy Cross prepares for a road matchup against Colgate on September 5 following a 35-10 season-opening loss to Lehigh at Fitton Field. Crusaders head coach Dan Curran named David Lynch the starting quarterback ahead of the opener, where he completed 25 of 40 passes for 313 yards and one touchdown. Junior wide receiver Myles Abernathy, a transfer from Georgia State, recorded nine receptions for 129 yards in his team debut. While the offense looks to improve in the red zone, the defensive unit faces a significant challenge against Colgate's running game. The Raiders enter the contest after junior running back Danny Shaban rushed for 214 yards and two scores in a win against Fordham. Holy Cross aims to shore up its run defense after allowing 281 rushing yards to Lehigh.
