Sluka throws 4 TD passes, Holy Cross scores last 40 points, beats Colgate 47-7
WORCESTER, Mass. -- — Matthew Sluka threw four touchdown passes and Holy Cross overwhelmed Colgate 47-7 in the Patriot League opener on Saturday.
The Crusaders (3-1), ranked seventh in the FCS coaches poll, celebrated homecoming by piling up 507 yards and limiting the Raiders (0-4) to 280.
Sluka was 16 of 28 for 184 yards. Justin Shorter had seven receptions for 112 yards and Jalen Coker six for 55 and both had a pair of touchdowns. Jordan Fuller added 118 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Eli Thompson picked off two passes.
Tyler Purdy scored on a 41-yard burst up the middle as Holy Cross got the ball first but the Raiders came back with an 18-play drive to tie it. Michael Brescia covered the last eight yards.
That was the offensive highlight for Colgate but after a punt Holy Cross scored on five-straight possessions. Fuller scored on a one-yard plunge before Sluka took over. It was 26-7 at the half and 40-7 after three quarters.
Brescia was 17 of 27 for 125 yards with an interception and three sacks.
