After posting overall records of 7-4 and 4-2 marks in the Patriot League during both the 2006 and 2007 seasons, the Holy Cross football team has high hopes as it prepares for the 2008 campaign. The team has shown constant improvement during its four years under the direction of head coach Tom Gilmore, and has now finished with a winning record during each of the last three seasons. This fall, the Crusaders will attempt to win their first Patriot League title since 1991. On the offensive side of the ball, Holy Cross returns eight starters and 17 of the 22 players on last season's final two-deep chart.
