...part of the city. At the same time, nobody wants to see barbed wire cutting Jerusalem in two, as was the case from 1948 to 1967.

The team hasn’t allowed a single back to reach the century mark in over two years, and coming off a weekend in which it held Penn to under 100 total yards in the second half—the third time this season Harvard managed the feat—defensive morale is high...
