Medication is an option, not a necessity, in treating depression. In the cases where antidepressants are considered alongside the requisite therapy sessions, however, one must weigh the risks and benefits of antidepressants carefully; if chosen, vigilant patient monitoring during the first few weeks (when the likelihood of suicide is greater) should be implemented. Until more is known, this is all that can be done, save hope that SSRIs’ negative press is only transitory. For we cannot afford to lose sight of all that antidepressants have done to assist the countless young victims of this debilitating illness...
Hall was at best the third option in the passing game that day, behind All-Ivy wideout Jay Barnard and All-Ivy tight end Casey Cramer. With Barnard and Cramer lost to graduation along with their combined 1,556 receiving yards, now it is Hall’s turn to steal the show, just as he did last year against the Crimson. Dartmouth does return last year’s starting quarterback Charlie Rittgers, so the passing game shouldn’t take too much of a step backward. That’s good news, because running back Chris Little...
...only question up in the air is how devoted the Crimson offense is to working running back Clifton Dawson into its rotation out of the backfield. Murphy has said that he would consider any option that earned the sophomore speedster additional touches, and Dawson’s marked improvement upon his pass reception skills during the off-season make him yet another target for Fitzpatrick. If Dawson has difficulty making his presence felt on the ground, screen plays and passes to him in the flat will send the Crusaders back to square...
...point drubbing, the Crusaders’ wide receivers will need to better establish their presence between the hash marks. The Crimson linebackers and secondary owned the center of the field last year, punishing route runners as they cut across the middle. That left Holy Cross with little option but to attempt high-risk passes along the well-guarded sidelines. By the fourth quarter, Harvard defenders had so thoroughly beaten their opponents that Holy Cross all-American wide receiver Ari Confesor actually stopped running for a pass floating towards Crimson linebacker Dante Balestracci ’04 to avoid taking...
Confesor has since graduated, leaving the task of taming the Harvard defensive backfield to Sean Gruber, who has emerged as the Crusaders’ most reliable receiving option in the wake of his departure. At 6’0, Gruber provides a large target for quarterback John O’Neil, who failed to hit much of anything last season against the Crimson. Struggling mightily in the first half, O’Neil was lifted in favor of his backup, who enjoyed little more success...
