...HAMPSHIRE (2-0)This is close to as big of an offensive mismatch as you could possibly find in a game with an Ivy participant. Dartmouth is miserable woeful inept hapless at moving the chains, with only 11 first downs, 170 yards of offense, and zero poised quarterbacks (apologies, Mr. Tom Bennewitz) in the opener. New Hampshire, on the other hand, is the top-ranked team in 1-AA, on the strength of the seventh-best offense in the nation. And that is deceptive, because the Wildcats tend to pull their starters when the game is in hand, which last...
...lone loss for the 9-1 league champs.The differences then were that Brown was playing with running back Nick Hartigan, the 2005 Player of the Year and third-leading rusher in Ivy League history. And in ’04 and ’05, the Crimson quarterbacks were Ryan Fitzpatrick ’05 and junior Liam O’Hagan, respectively. On Saturday, Harvard will see the first start ever from sophomore quarterback Jeff Witt, and Brown will begin game two of the post-Hartigan ever. Judging from the first game, though, it may be an easier transition...
...quarterback? No problem. Another quarterback? Doesn’t matter. For Clifton Dawson, it was just another day at the office. The senior running back racked up 170 rushing yards on a day when Harvard gave a pair of quarterbacks the first significant game action of their careers.

But Pizzotti’s efficient 10-for-13, 126-yard debut was spoiled early in the second quarter when he went...
Holy Cross, already down to its backup quarterback after an early-season injury to the Crusader’s starter, did little to protect the health of junior backup Brian McSharry. The Crimson garnered six sacks, costing Holy Cross a total of 43 yards. But even when Harvard defenders weren’t dragging down McSharry, they were harrying him enough to disrupt Holy Cross’ passing game.“They have a good timing passing system,” Murphy said. “We obviously did a pretty good job of getting heat on them today...
...most recent offseason for Harvard football has been ripe with roster changes: within the senior class, at captain, in the receiving core, and maybe most importantly, at quarterback. Things were finally ready to come together in Saturday’s 31-14 season-opener against Holy Cross, after five weeks of rallying around the Crimson’s new signal-caller, junior Chris Pizzotti. That all ended on one play. With the Crimson trailing 7-0 and driving early in the second quarter against the Crusaders, the depth chart suffered its most recent setback. Only this time—when...
