...easy to pile up the numbers when individuals produce stellar performances—like sophomore linebacker Sonny McCracken’s display of defensive ruthlessness.After emerging as a starter during the season, McCracken made his presence known to Lafayette quarterback Brad Maurer. On three consecutive plays, McCracken broke through the line and recorded a sack on each snap, giving him a total of five sacks for the season. Fellow sophomore linebackers Matthew Thomas and Glenn Dorris have also contributed to Harvard’s defensive staunchness. Unexpectedly placed into starting roles, Thomas and Dorris have exceeded expectation, developing a knack...

But now, there's not anyone who hasn't, thanks to the saturation coverage of the page scandal, helped along...
...Bush the electoral votes he need to win a second term could be a complete washout for his party this year. The Foley scandal, says Franklin County Republican Chairman Doug Preisse, is "one more pebble in a balance that was already weighted heavily against us." Even before it broke, Ohio's Republicans were facing a stiff headwind from a struggling economy, a G.O.P. scandal in the statehouse and increasing opposition to the war.
