...Harvard, the big difference going into this year's opener is the increased confidence derived from playing on an 8-1 championship team. Typical is Ric Zimmerman, who had to win his quarterback position in pre-season practice last fall and then was feeling his way to stardom for the first four and a half games. This year he is starting off as one of the best play-callers in the East...
...small that half of his jersey number (16) runs down into his pants, Substitute Quarterback Perez came off the bench in the second half to complete ten out of twelve passes for 107 yds. He seemed to be throwing out of a hole. But he managed to get the ball away; coolly he turned the last 43 seconds of the game into the longest moments of the afternoon.

That's a tall order for the Patriots, who have been scrambling to put some kind of consistent offense-defensive secondary ent offense and defensive secondary together...
