...ball every time he touches it, and that’s always a huge concern.” This is all in addition to tailbacks Marques Thompson and Matt McGowan, who have each rushed for 150-plus yards this season. But the threat of the run should not scare a Crimson defense that has is ranked first in Division I-AA. The team has allowed just 75 rushing yards and has posted 10 sacks for 61 yards in the first two games. Harvard will be slightly weakened by the loss of sophomore linebacker Sean Hayes, who will be replaced...
