This is a position where Harvard clearly has the edge, yet will be challenged by a formidable Yale receiving corps. The Harvard cornerbacks—senior Gary Sonkur, junior Keith Howell and sophomore Danny Tanner—rotate in and out. In addition, Harvard has played more man-to-man coverage with safety help as the year has gone on. Last week against Penn, with the Ivy championship on the line, Sonkur had an interception. Of course, fans who were at The Game last year will remember Sonkur’s interception return for a touchdown to seal...
...devised a plan to contain both Edwards—double covered as a standard practice—and Mazza, who has made mincemeat of his man-to-man treatment throughout his breakout season.

Sullivan implemented a full-court, man-to-man defense that he had planned to use in last week’s matchup with the Big Green, but he didn’t have the opportunity to deploy it extensively. On Saturday, Sullivan put the new defense into practice immediately after Dartmouth’s first basket...

However, Harvard could not keep the 6’9 forward off the free-throw line, where Coppenrath converted 13 out of 14 attempts...
