His favorite target was Jalen Coker with five receptions for 102 yards and a score.
Holy Cross (5-3, 3-1 Patriot League) had 466 yards of total offense as Jordan Fuller ran for 116 yards and two scores on 24 carries. Tyler Purdy had 85 yards on five receptions and 30 yards on five rushes with TDs rushing and receiving.
Montes was 29-of-36 passing for 410 yards and four touchdowns for Fordham (5-3, 1-2). MJ Wright made seven catches for 164 yards and a touchdown and Garrett Cody had 127 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions.
With Loughridge piling up 211 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, the Rams finished with 619 yards but the one interception was the difference.
A missed extra point on Fordham's second touchdown allowed Holy Cross to lead 14-13 after one quarter. The Rams led 34-28 at the half.
