...those football Saturdays filled with subtle ironies. Like Harvard's offense crumbling before the very same defense it annihilated one year ago. Brown sunffing Harvard's championship hopes the same way the Crimson squelched those of the Bruins late last season. And senior Jim Kubacki setting Harvard's all-time career total passing record in the midst of what was possibly his most ineffective performance in a Crimson uniform...
Harvard fans spent much of the game giving thanks for small favors, such as the failure of Brown defenders to intercept Kubacki aerials which floated into their hands and the occasional Crimson recovery of its own fumbles.

Anderson claims that the defensive secondary hasn't been tested yet, and Harvard should stage a big passing game...
While delegating some thought to Brown's potential weaknesses, Restic has also concerned himself this week with some failures in Harvard's attack over the past few games. Specifically, the Jim Kubacki-led aerial attack has not been as sharp as expected, and much of the Crimson's practice week has been devoted to refining the passing game...

The receivers will be open: I can almost guarantee that. I just hope Jimmy has a good day throwing the ball...
