...change in philosophy of Ivy offenses speaks to this uncertainty factor as well. The Ancient Eight has usually been stereotyped as a pass-oriented league, one which facilitates shootouts and playstation-like stat lines.

Brown was all set to give the starting running back job to speedy Tristan Murray a year ago. Murray scored the first touchdown of the 2003 season for the Bears against Albany, but by the end of the game, Hartigan had stolen the starting gig from him after compiling for 126 yards and a touchdown.

Once again, the defense locked down on Hartigan to hold the Bears out of the endzone. Kicker Steve Morgan, who had already missed a short field goal in the first half, sent his 30-yard field goal attempt wide right and the Harvard lead held...
