WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Jaden Craig threw three touchdown passes, Brady Blackburn caught two touchdowns, and Harvard dominated Holy Cross in a 59-24 win on Saturday.

Blackburn caught five balls for 114 yards. His touchdowns came on either side of the first half. He caught a 13-yarder from Craig with five seconds left in the first quarter, then grabbed a 33-yarder from Torres with 11:03 in the third.
