WASHINGTON (AP) Jayden Clerveaux rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns and Holy Cross defeated Georgetown 34-0 in a regular-season finale on Saturday.
The Crusaders (6-6, 5-1) earned a share of their sixth straight Patriot League title but Lehigh will get the league's automatic bid to the FCS playoffs, having beaten Holy Cross 10-7 this season.
Holy Cross took a 17-0 lead on a Daniel Porto field goal, Joe Townsend's 15-yard return of a punt block made by Lathan Croley and Clerveaux's 18-yard run. Clerveaux's 3-yard score made it 27-0 in the third quarter. The Crusaders' final touchdown came on Joe Pesansky's 12-yard pass to Byron Shipman after Cam Jones' interception at the Hoyas 20.
Georgetown (5-6, 2-4) intercepted three passes but generated only 184 yards on offense. The shutout was the first for Holy Cross since blanking Bucknell in 2022.
