CORNELL With the graduation of quarterback Ryan Kuhn, who rushed for over 1000 yards last year, new sophomore starter Nathan Ford will focus on airing the ball out for a change. He’ll be throwing to some youthful wide receivers. First Team All-Ivy junior Luke Siwula will lead the running game. The defensive line and the defensive backfield each return three talented starters, but the linebackers have no returners. The squad expects a lot from special teams, an area of emphasis for coach Jim Knowles...
DARTMOUTH The offensive line must improve after allowing 54 sacks last season. Four starters return from that unit, and the team is deep at the wide receiver and tight end positions. Sophomore quarterback Josh Cohen is academically ineligible, so Tom Bennewitz, who had never taken a snap prior to last week’s loss against Colgate, is the new starter. The defense gave up the second-most points in the league, but has a pair of returning fifth-year seniors at defensive tackle in Mike Rabil and Brian Osimiri...
HARVARD The revolving door at quarterback shouldn’t phase Harvard, considering the Crimson’s dependence on senior tailback Clifton Dawson, who proved quite capable of shouldering the load against Holy Cross. The defensive line is possibly the best in the league, and coach Tim Murphy and captain Ryan Tully have raved about a young defensive secondary. Depth at wideout will also ease the early-season burden on sophomore newcomer Jeff Witt under center...
PENN The Quakers have offensive experience in senior running back Joe Sandberg but may face problems with sophomore quarterback Robert Irvin, who played in just his first game last weekend. The line will see three new faces, but returning seniors Dan McDonald and Matt Carre will lead the receiving core. The defense returns four All-Ivy honorees, including Ivy Rookie of the Year linebacker Andrew Allen, but the secondary misses seven major players...
PRINCETON The Tigers lost a ton of talent from last year’s team, including all five starting offensive linemen. Princeton does return senior quarterback Jeff Terrell and a pair of athletic running backs in junior Rob Toresco and senior Cleo Kirkland. Someone must step up to replace tight end Jon Dekker, who was Terrell’s go-to receiver in 2005. Senior co-captain Luke Steckel, a linebacker, looks to anchor the Tigers’ 3-4 defense after it lost three of last season’s starting linebackers...
