...game would be moving on, leaving a vacuum of talent and experience that would take years to refill. Harvard coach Frank Sullivan looked at the strong freshman class and knew that would be his next shot. The next year would be painful. The following year would be a slight improvement. But three seasons down the line—that would be the next “best chance.” The costly injury to Brian Cusworth, the ugly 4-23 season, and the subsequent return to respectability became the emotional preamble to another possibly historic run.

The humble surroundings bear only slight resemblance to the flashy labs you see on TV crime shows, but the division's record of success reads like a Hollywood script. In its first year of operation, the lab helped prosecutors win a tricky sexual-assault conviction in Iowa in which the key clue was dog urine (the victim was unable to identify the suspect, but her dog had relieved itself on his truck during the assault).
