...number of key contributors on defense. Junior linebacker Alex Gross returns after leading the league in tackles a year ago, and senior Lou Mills paced the Ivies in sacks. Columbia is also one of the few teams to return its starting quarterback. Senior Shane Kelly will have his three top targets—Austin Knowlin, Taylor Joseph, and Mike Stephens— back as well...
...finish in the basement of the Ivy League, Dartmouth was outscored by an average of over 21 points a game last year. The good news for the Big Green is that its young squad has one more year of experience.

The camera shots are still and never shift focus from the characters, allowing the viewer to take in the precise symmetry of the scenes and precluding any sense of detachment...
