...talk about the great play of the Eli defensive unit. Led by team captain and right end Fred Leone and the rest of the boys on the front line--who hassled Cuccia-Allard all game long, who held fullback Jim Callinan, averaging 5.3 yards a carry this season going into the Bowl, to just 60 yards on 21 carries--the Elis stalled an inept Multiflex. It was the same story, only twice as bad as last year, when the Elis completely locked out the Harvard strike force, 14-0, in the Stadium...
...other, of course, is Delgadillo. The Crimson cornerback will be responsible much of the afternoon for covering Grieve, who, if you remember, beat Delgadillo for the first Eli touchdown on a fourth-and-nineteen play, during last year's 14-0 Yale win. Delgadillo, who needs two interceptions to break the Harvard career record, will be the man to snare an Eli pass in a crucial situation...
...looking to break the thousand-yard barrier on his first carry from serimmage. Callinan has had rushing games of 190 yards (against Princeton) and 188 yards (in two and a half quarters against Penn), but he will have a much tougher time with the stingy Eli defense, if he doesn't establish himself early, then Harvard will have to go to the air, something they haven't had success with all season, except when Callinan's been on the receiving end. The full back leads the team with 16 receptions, most of them on screens...
...Against poor Eli...
...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...
