Despite the squad’s youth, the Crimson managed to finish third in the Ivy League behind Princeton, who went 6-0 in conference play, and Yale. “I thought it was a fantastic season,” junior captain Verdi DiSesa said. “We worked hard and played well even though we were hurt by losing last year’s class.

With McLeod shut down, Yale was forced to turn to the passing game. Averaging just 116.2 yards per game passing coming in, the Bulldogs were woefully unprepared for the air-based attack. Yale quarterback Matt Polhemus, under relentless pressure from the Crimson defense, finished 2-for-18 for just 29 yards and two interceptions while being sacked twice...
