The 1982 Holy Cross Crusaders football team was an American football team that represented the College of the Holy Cross as an independent during the 1982 NCAA Division I-AA football season.
In their second year under head coach Rick E. Carter, the Crusaders compiled an 8–3 record. Terry Malone and Doug O'Donnell were the team captains.[1]
This was the Crusaders' first year in Division I-AA, after having competed in the top-level Division I-A and its predecessors since 1896.
A four-game winning streak to open the campaign put Holy Cross in the weekly national rankings in its first year in Division I-AA, rising as high as No. 4. The Crusaders ended the year ranked No. 13, following a rivalry loss to Tangerine Bowl-bound Boston College of Division I-A.
Holy Cross played its home games at Fitton Field on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.
