Holy Cross 38, Howard Bison 7: Taggart on target in HC's debut

WORCESTER, MA — Sure, Ryan Taggart was excited before Holy Cross' season opener, but that was probably the third-best adjective he'd use to describe his pregame emotions.
“Nervous and anxious were 1 and 2,” he said.

Taggart, who is succeeding record-setting quarterback Dominic Randolph, made his starting debut yesterday and, as it turned out, the senior didn't have too much to worry about. He completed 17 of 29 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Crusaders to a 38-7 victory over Howard University at Fitton Field.

“Overall, he had a good day,” Holy Cross coach Tom Gilmore said. “We did make some mistakes, and he was a little off on a couple of plays, but hey, first-game jitters. When he settled down, he was starting to hit the throws a lot better.”
