...that the rest of the season.” The run kept what had been a pass-happy offense—the Crimson had thrown over 91 passes through two games—more balanced and a tough Lafayette defense honest. Pizzotti was able to relax more in the pocket and even got in on a few run plays himself. In addition to going 15-of-28 for 231 yards and a touchdown, the senior executed the option twice and rushed for a net of 20 yards. “It’s something that...
...Lafayette coach Frank Tavani summed up Saturday’s game well when he said that Harvard “played perfect against us.” Everything was working perfectly for the Crimson squad. The offensive line gave senior Chris Pizzotti plenty of time in the pocket, and the defense stopped the Leopards in the red zone. “[The offense] put up a lot of points, they did their job, we did ours, and it was a very good win,” captain Matt Curtis said.

What's that word again? Oh, yes: malaise...
...privileged child - getting hit on by guys is just an occupational hazard - and is cocooned in her persona. So she's a good match for Nick, who is beyond being embarrassed by driving a battered yellow Yugo that strangers mistake for a taxi or carrying Handi Wipes in his pocket. They also like the same music, which can unite the most disparate souls. The big problem is his devotion to Tris, which baffles Norah ("I could floss with that girl"). That's Nick's cage; he's a bit too at home in his misery...
