...year ago in this very column I explained to naïve Harvard fans harping on the mediocre passing statistics of Matt Polhemus that they hadn’t seen what the fleet-footed Yale quarterback was capable...
...remember Yale’s first play (with remarkable clarity, too, thanks to Harvard’s draconian booze statutes): with Harvard’s star defensive tackle Michael Berg and his cohorts stacking the line to stop McLeod, Polhemus faked a handoff to the wunderkind and dashed 19 yards on a naked bootleg. Polhemus would indeed dance all day in the pocket, then McLeod would gallop into the endzone (it happened three times) while Dawson ended his college career with only the 60 yards Brandt Hollander and the rabid Yale defense generously allowed...
...most formidable opponent McLeod has seen all year. The best versus the best equals a wash, so let’s assume the Yale running game and the Harvard defensive front cancel each other out.That’ll force the ball into the hands of Matt Polhemus, a quarterback with a completion percentage just over 50 percent and more picks (five) than touchdowns (four) this year.What will Polhemus see when he scans the defensive backfield looking for an open receiver? He’ll see the best crop of defensive backs in all the Ivy-lined land. Three...
...squad’s backup runner, Ricardo Galvez, playing only in garbage time, has more rushing yards than anyone on Harvard, Princeton, or Brown. Matt Polhemus, Eli’s senior quarterback, is throwing only 17 times a game, down from roughly 21 attempts per contest last season. Head coach Jack Siedlecki is going with what’s working, and that’s a heavy dose of superlative tailback Mike McLeod, who has amassed 719 yards and 13 touchdowns through four weeks...
...receiving corps will be retooled after the graduation of the top three receivers from last season, but running quarterback Matt Polhemus is back, as is star tailback Mike McLeod. The offensive line must replace All-American tackle Ed McCarthy and another starter. The defense returns nine starters from a unit that led the Ivies in turnovers last year, including first team All-Ivy selections Brandt Hollander at defensive tackle and Bobby Abare at linebacker...
