...Lehigh (1-2) at Goodman Stadium will be yet another test for the squad. The subject is nothing new: try out a new quarterback. This week will feature junior Richard Irvin starting behind the center, the third quarterback in as many games in 2006. Last weekend’s starter, sophomore Jeff Witt, is out two weeks with a separated shoulder. “I’ve never been remotely through a situation like that,” Crimson coach Tim Murphy said. “I’ve never even, in twenty years of head coaching...
CORNELL With the graduation of quarterback Ryan Kuhn, who rushed for over 1000 yards last year, new sophomore starter Nathan Ford will focus on airing the ball out for a change. He’ll be throwing to some youthful wide receivers. First Team All-Ivy junior Luke Siwula will lead the running game.

The squad expects a lot from special teams, an area of emphasis for coach Jim Knowles...

...drives of 61, 72, 68 and 81 yards,” Murphy said of the game. “He did a good job.”He’ll be called on to do it again this week and for at least the next three, as former starter Chris Pizzotti’s hyperextended knee is expected to keep the junior out for at least the next three weeks.Other than Pizzotti, though, the Crimson will be relatively healthy heading into Saturday’s game.“We’ve been fortunate,” Murphy...
