...OUTLOOK With the loss of 2004 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year Joe McCourt, the run-oriented Leopards might have trouble moving the ball this season. The defense, anchored by Buchanan Award hopeful Bennett, should be particularly stingy, but shouldn’t be relied upon to post goose eggs all year. While Lehigh appears to be the class of the league, if Lafayette can get past Colgate at home, the Leopards should be primed for a title bout against the Mountain Hawks on Nov. 19. Lafayette won’t be able to top Lehigh...
...OUTLOOK Last season was a tale of two halves for Princeton, as the Tigers sprinted out to a 4-1 start before fading to a 5-5 finish. The collapse down the stretch put Hughes on the hot seat in the minds of the fans, if not the administration. The schedule lends itself to another quick start—Princeton plays three of its first four at home. But with road games against the preseason big three—Brown, Harvard, and Penn—highlighting the second half of the schedule, the Tigers will fizzle down the stretch once...
...OUTLOOK After a disappointing 1-9 campaign and the dismissal of its head coach, Dartmouth brought in Teevens—who led the squad to an Ivy title as a quarterback in 1978 and two championships as a coach in 1990 and 1991—to restore the Big Green program to prominence within the league. Teevens has a lot of work ahead of him, as the glut of talent rests within the senior class and is essentially on one-year rental. With four Ivy home games, including two against Columbia and Princeton, Dartmouth should be able to pick...
...OUTLOOK The Lions better win early, because with all their games against beatable Ivy competition on the road, the league slate will not be kind to Columbia this season. The Lions’ two most winnable games are the season opener under the lights at Fordham and the home opener against Duquesne. After the Dukes, the only visitor to Wien Stadium that looks manageable is Yale. An 0-2 start could easily spiral into an 0-10 finish, so it’s imperative that Columbia takes one of those two opening contests. The Lions should be able to manage...
...OUTLOOK In the minds of the Ivy media, the Quakers have been deemed the team to beat this season. Earning that distinction on the field, however, might be a tougher task. Penn meets its two most difficult Ivy opponents—Brown and Harvard—on the road and must close out the year with a pesky Cornell squad that found its stride down the stretch last season. Penn doesn’t appear to have improved enough to take down the Crimson in Cambridge, and it probably won’t be able to dodge all the bullets...
