...sophomore quarterback Jeff Witt, and Brown will begin game two of the post-Hartigan ever. Judging from the first game, though, it may be an easier transition than originally imagined for both teams.“Obviously, losing Hartigan is a big blow, but they seem to have found tailback by committee,” Murphy said. In the Bears’ 34-21 opening win over Georgetown last week, five backs combined for 207 yards on the ground. “They have three big, strong, fast kids that they’re kind of rotating in there...
...think it’s an MCL sprain, and he’ll have to get an MRI to see if it’s worse than that.” In the meantime, the job is Witt’s, and that’s something that Harvard tailback Clifton Dawson has no apparent problem with. Dawson earned 150 of his 170 yards while Witt was calling the plays. “Pizzotti is obviously a great quarterback and he was doing very well, but we [also] had all the confidence in Jeff Witt,” Dawson said...
...that has to do a good job of getting to the proper gap and making a good tackle when he gets there.”Dawson seems to be the main threat in a weakened Harvard offense.Entering the season with a career total of 3,628 rushing yards, the tailback stands just 1,087 short of the all-time Ivy rushing record held by Cornell graduate Ed Marinaro.Despite these impressive numbers, Dawson claims the offense will remain pass-first.“We have a lot of quality wide receivers, a bunch of all-Ivy caliber guys...
...back injury. So while I’m mesmerized by his orange locks, maybe green is the more operative color, as in inexperienced.

He’s basically the greatest. Give him a lead in the second half and he’ll wear these guys out eating the clock. It says here Pizzotti gets him one. Prediction: Harvard 31, Holy Cross 17BROWN VS.

Amid all the uncertainty, one thing is more sure: senior tailback Clifton Dawson. Dawson stands on the brink of history, with the chance to become to first offensive player in league history to be named first-team all-Ivy for four straight years. He is on pace to break the all-time league mark for rushing yards—with 4,715 yards, he is 1,087 yards off the mark—and touchdowns, established by Brown’s Nick Hartigan last season. If Dawson gets 1,000 yards on the ground, he will become just the eighth...
