Harvard has a blue chip in its backfield—Clifton Dawson—who should run rampant over a depleted Brown D. In another intriguing matchup, the Bears start the league’s most experienced signal-caller in Joe DiGiacomo while the Crimson, after the suspension of Liam O’Hagan and the injury to Week One starter Chris...

...it’s an MCL sprain, and he’ll have to get an MRI to see if it’s worse than that.” In the meantime, the job is Witt’s, and that’s something that Harvard tailback Clifton Dawson has no apparent problem with. Dawson earned 150 of his 170 yards while Witt was calling the plays. “Pizzotti is obviously a great quarterback and he was doing very well, but we [also] had all the confidence in Jeff Witt,” Dawson said...
