WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy Cross football team found out they were the 8th seed in the FCS playoffs Sunday, which meant they get a first-round bye. 

The Crusaders will face the winner of the New Hampshire vs. Fordham game on Saturday December 3rd at Fitton Field.

Having a bye is huge for Holy Cross, both physically and mentally. The Crusaders can rest up and recharge, while preparing for either UNH or Fordham.
