WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross head football coach
Bob Chesney has announced the 2020 schedule for the reigning Patriot League champion Crusaders. Holy Cross is set to play 11 regular season games this fall, including five home contests at Fitton Field. The slate will be highlighted by the Crusaders' 84th all-time meeting with Boston College in Chestnut Hill on Oct. 31.
"We are looking forward to facing a very challenging schedule this fall," said Chesney. "The non-conference portion of our schedule will be very competitive, as we play several top teams from around New England. We expect those games to help prepare us for the difficult battles we will face in the Patriot League."
Holy Cross begins the season at Merrimack on Sept. 5, then plays host to Lehigh on Sept. 12 and Yale on Sept. 19. The Crusaders will next travel to Harvard on Oct. 3, before facing Brown at Fitton Field on Oct. 10. A four-game road swing will follow, including games at Georgetown (Oct. 17), Colgate (Oct. 24), Boston College (Oct. 31) and Lafayette (Nov. 7). Holy Cross will then conclude the season with a pair of home games against Fordham (Nov. 14) and Bucknell (Nov. 21).
