To overcome these obstacles, Harvard will have to focus on its man-to-man pressure. “It just comes down to winning the individual battle,” Hoff said...
...Crimson traveled to Ithaca, N.Y., to play Cornell is still fresh. The game—an eventual 27-13 pounding at the hands of the Big Red—came on a cold and rainy day that, mixed with Cornell’s signature astroturf, ended with a road-loss worse than any since...
