...question, the Multiflex--Restic's offensive set which presumably provides the quarterback with a wide range of options on each play--is in perhaps the best hands it has ever been in. Junior Mike Giardi runs the supremely complicated offense as if it were a match box car, while Robb Hirsch and Kendrick Joyce are ideal backs for the system...
...they should be. Along with Giardi, Harvardhas three quality offensive backs: Senior KendrickJoyce is a hard-nosed halfback, known for hisblazing speed.

"If that could be the only way of saving white people," says Robb, his hand sweeping across the Ozarks, "I'd burn the whole forest down."
