...watch Ron Cuccia and the Multiflex try to solve the Eli defense, the league's stingiest. He will mix his plays, offering Yale a dive by Callinan here, a flip to Acheson there, the quarterback-in-motion play (with a few new twists. perhaps). and maybe even a halfback option, too. And whether he succeeds or fails, it will be interesting...

Others feel there has been no inefficiency. Halfback Jim Acheson, for example, says "his numbers are deceiving; his presence can be seen and felt by the defense in a special way.

But the doubts and the questions remain for all who see the numbers: Has Ron Cuccia been a success this year as Harvard's quarterback...
...given that Cuccia is a tremendous athlete ("One of the best I've ever played any sport with," says Acheson. "He can do things I've never seen any quarterback do.") Holy Cross coach Rick Carter, whose team beat Harvard, 33-19, but allowed Cuccia to throw 27 times for 219 yards in his best passing display of the year, says Cuccia is "impossible to stop because he can pass, run and do so very many things to you."
