...Crimson's ability to put some points on the board will not hinge on Restic's new sets, however. Most likely, quarterback Eric Crone's passing--and the protection he gets from the Crimson line--will probably tell the story for Harvard this afternoon...

Crone obviously has a fine arm, as his touchdown passes to John Hagerty and Gatto attest, but he followed the example of his predecessors and threw three interceptions while completing less than half his passes.
