...Harvard is to emerge as an Ivy League contender, junior quarter-back Jay Snowden will need to provide timely passing to counterbalance the Crimson's potent ground attack. Although the 6-1, 200-pound Snowden possesses the physical tools, the jury is still out on his passing accuracy. Used primarily as an option quarterback in two-point conversion situations last season, Snowden quickly gained the respect of his teammates, who seemed equally comfortable with him as with Ferrara...
