Running back Robert Carr has proven that his early season breakout wasn’t a fluke, as he sits second in the league in rushing yards per game. Yale has the top wide receiver tandem, in terms of combined yards per game, in the Ivy League—even better than Harvard’s Mazza-Edwards combination...
...Harvard (6-0, 3-0 Ivy) is fresh off its two biggest wins of the season, and the tandem of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and sophomore running back Clifton Dawson has the offense clicking quite nicely...
