When Yale has the ball, don't let halfback Rich Diana (33), quarterback John Rogan (19) or split end Curtis Grieve (81) slip out of your sight. Because just as quick as you lose them they can slip into the end zone...
Unlike its team of two years ago, Yale no longer depends only on the run to move the ball. "Offensively, we're a more balanced team," Diana says. "We're passing a lot more, and that's helped the running game." Quarterback Rogan adds, "We're a run first, pass second team. But now when they shut down our running game, we have confidence going to the air. We're not going to be hesitant to throw the ball...
...unkown again entered the picture, and Yale won a rather boring battle, 14-0. The Harvard offense played as if it had forgotten the meaning of the concept "first down," as the Elis shut down both the Crimson's varied running attack and its flexible passing game. Quarterback John Rogan (who will start on Saturday) clicked with elusive split end Curtis Grieve (also still with Yale) on the last play of the first quarter for the Game's first major, a fourth-and-19 desperation call...
...Elis this year are a simple team to analyze--they are one of the top squads in the East. When Rogan is not clicking with Grieve on offense, he is handing off to Rick Diana, the classiest runner in the Ivies since Ed Marinaro. Despite defense designed to stop him, the fleet-footed Diana has managed to twist and turn for more than five yards a crack, often breaking long runs. If he gets past the initial line of opposition and squirts through to the secondary, watch out. He is devastating in the open field, and his clutch runs last...
Middle guard Scott Murrer is the key to the defensive line, which must pressure Rogan and get to Diana quickly. Steady sophomore linebacker Andy Nolan must come through as well. If Rogan has time to unload--as Princeton's Holly and Dartmouth's Frank Polsinello did--he will shred the Crimson's secondary, however formidable...
