gray and Jordan Fuller give him all the credit in the world as panski Runs Out up fakes we got a flag on the field as he scampers out of bounds for about a 5yd game but that could be a ho field snap back to the quarterback as he rolls out to his left Ferrell takes it himself he makes a man miss upfield it's a first down as he scampers out of bounds fantastic play for Devon farell Drive of the game their first drive they shoot off 6 minutes and got a field goal play action thrown over the middle it's caught and a nice tackle from behind Buchanan gets the reception his second of the game on Third and five Rams got motion that's Harris snap back to Farrell Ferrell's got plenty of time he steps up throws and he's got to man wide open it's Tommy Smith the tight end again who's crawling forward inside the five he's tackled by cam Jones but it's a third down conversion for Rhode Island and sets up a Red Zone try this time it's a 20-yard try to give the Rams a six nothing Advantage snap is Down clean snap clean kick and it's up and through the uprights Rhode Island six Holy Cross zero I mean what a season he had last year led the FCS with 15 tou touchdown receptions they go on the ground it's Fuller and this is what Fuller can do he gets the penalty yards back and some a 17 yd gain after it was first and very long nice run as they go on the ground again to Fuller it's a first down inside the 35 yd line and this is what Holy Cross does really well 39 yd attempt kick is up and kick is well through excellent kick and that brings it back to a one or keeps it a one score game I should say six to3 too so they'll be heading to the uh FBS level as Farrell takes it himself this is the speed at the quarterback position the Rams s it's a first down and some as Devin farell is marked down at the 45 yd line a nice gain they go on the ground Fuller again and it's a shooring tackle that save six full of the lone man in the back field to the left hand side of panski and they go on the ground to him again he gets to the outside left Edge bumps a couple Dbacks for URI and he's finally ripped down by Shawn phoy they got to snap the football and they do clean snap clean hold kick is up and the kick is left no good and the Rams will celebrate but Rhode Island hasn't been able to really pester him much snap back thrown out into the flat to Fuller and Fuller stays on his feet thanks to a hand stuck into the ground on the opening drive of the second half motion man is MSI they're going to pass it panski slings it out into a screen and it's going to be a three yd gain five men across the line of scrimmage five men wide out as Aiden alluded to snap back to Devon Devon steps up throws he's got cage slow sl's got some space out to the 30 SLO at the 40 and he steps out of bounds just shy of the 45 yd line third and six they spaced it out goal from the 10 or from the eight I should say Farrell keeps it himself Devin up field diving and he's down at the two for rhod Island Pat Murphy spent time at Holy crosses there OC and Brian veganic the defensive coordinator for the Crusaders spent time as Rhode Islands DC both men square off here on fourth down they throw it inzone touchdown in the flat it's Tommy Smith that scores for the Rams capping off a 13pl 90 yd drive for Rhode Island at one reception for four yards in his career that alone was a reception and a touchdown for two yards motion man is Brady RoR tight end for the Rams Farrell takes the SN snap throws it in the flat and stopping on a dime spinning away from traffic and getting some extra yardage is Shawn Harris Pat Murphy raved about him earlier this week quarter of play sha Harris is the motion man again shotgun snap back to Farrell Farrell throws it he's got a man first down for for Greg gains and he gets out of bounds and that should end the third quarter their title defense as the Crusaders have won five straight titles thrown over the middle and it's complete plenty of room to run speed into second gear and it's a touchdown for Holy Cross Charlie malali and the Crusaders fans come alive here inside me stadium and really they had an opportunity to have 13 points off of turnovers to but they missed a field goal the extra point though is good by the skin of the Crusader teeth it just skated over the top first down for URI snap back pharoh looking he's got Buchanan again Maris
