...tomorrow. This matchup is shaping up like a slasher flick: Yale’s top-ranked running game, averaging four touchdowns and upwards of 300 yards per game, slashing through the helpless, shrieking, league-worst Lions defense, which routinely lets opponents top 250 yards rushing. Mike McLeod, who has already sewn up Ivy Player of the Year honors, had a subpar afternoon last weekend--147 yards and three touchdowns in a triple-overtime win at Penn...
...status as a top-two team in the Ivies with a win. Prediction: Harvard 30, Princeton 20PENN (2-3, 1-1) VS. NO. 16 YALE (5-0, 2-0)With every passing week, by running every week, Yale looks more and more primed to finish the season undefeated. Mike McLeod broke his school single-game rushing record for the second straight time last Saturday, taking 40 handoffs against a tough Lehigh defense for—wait for it—276 yards. With 10-0 on the horizon and a 2,000-yard campaign not out of the question, McLeod...

Keep in mind that the last three rushing leaders in the Ancient Eight have played for title-winning squads (Clifton Dawson/Harvard ‘04, Nick Hartigan/Brown ‘05, McLeod/Yale ‘06). Now realize that McLeod already has a 353-yard cushion in the race for that distinction this season. Can anyone stuff this relentless Bulldogs running game...
...YALE (3-0, 1-0) VS. DARTMOUTH (1-2, 1-0)Break up the Big Green! Last week, as forecasted in this space, Dartmouth registered its first win since 2003 over an Ivy team other than Columbia or Brown with a 21-13 triumph over Penn. The Premature Mike McLeod Watch: 2,617 yards through 23 games, 40-game projection: 4,551 yards (Clifton Dawson’s Ivy rushing record is 4,840). This season alone, McLeod has 564 yards on 102 carries (what!?) and 12 (yeah, 12) touchdowns. It’s understandable why the Bulldogs run three...
