Harvard football started the season in unfamiliar territory.Forced to find a replacement for all-time Ivy League leading rusher Clifton Dawson ’07, Harvard’s 2007 campaign looked bleak after two early last-minute losses to Holy Cross and Lehigh dropped the team to 1-2 for the first time in recent memory. But with just one game remaining last November, the Crimson found itself back in the hunt with an undefeated 6-0 mark in the Ancient Eight, on the heels of a six-game win streak, and on the brink of its first...
...Bulldogs. Ranked No. 11 in the nation, Yale featured the league’s best scoring offense and defense, as well as the best red zone offense and defense. In addition, running back Mike McLeod headlined the Bulldogs’ offense as the nation’s leading rusher with an average of 174.3 yards per game. No one expected the ensuing blowout against such a talented team. “We dreamed we’d get this result, we didn’t dream we’d get this kind of dominance,” coach...

He’d return for another play later in the quarter, but he sat out the bulk...
...sacks and interceptions (including a nation-best six picks from senior corner Steven Williams). Most impressively, the unit hasn’t allowed a second-half touchdown since Week 1. Last week’s 37-point showing versus Columbia notwithstanding, the Big Green offense, without a top-10 rusher or a top-10 receiver, and with mediocre quarterbacks Tom Bennewitz and Alexander Jenny splitting time under center, is simply overmatched...
...Player of the Year and quarterback Jeff Terrell is gone, to be replaced by Bill Foran, a senior who played mostly wide receiver last season. First team All-Ivy wideout Brendan Circle is back, along with leading rusher R.C. Lagomarsino. The defense lost two first team All-Ivy cornerbacks to graduation, along with second-teamer Jake Marshall on the defensive line but returns seven starters in all. The Tigers had five field goals blocked last season; otherwise, kicker Connor Louden...
