...basis of a strong pre-season performance, had been heavily counted on to provide much-needed secondary help. The Crimson pass defense in Saturday's game was porous at best, and Pennington's pinpoint possing devastated the belly of the zone with slant patterns and clothes. The Umass serial attack gained 210 yards passing on the afternoon, and over 150 yards of that come on patterns run into the vulnerable midsection of the some...

Eaton's grasp of musical technique is distinctly impressive, but his sense of theater is so undeveloped it verges on naivete. Heracles' characters discourse at enormous length but never with enough musical depth to make themselves or their arguments convincing. Unlike...
