Heard Frank last night and read Reinhardt's column in the MC this AM. Sounds like Hahvahd has a strong D line. Starting to get worried. Hope Stan can get the boys up front fired up!

Go Pards!

I'm not worried about the O-line. I think this group can hang with the best of them. Admittedly Columbia's blitz package gave them fits but I don't think Harvard can replicate that package. It sounds as though their defensive backfield is their achilles tendon. If they throw the kitchen sink at us Curely should be able to pick them apart. That's the theory anyway. In fact I was about to post suggesting that this may just have to be an air show if we're going to beat them. That would be very exciting if we could beat an old nemisis with a very new style of offense.

Don't get me wrong though...I'm nervous too. Tavani says, on film, this is the best team they will have faced all year. Better than Liberty. better than all of the other teams we squeaked by. It stands to reason therefore that we will need to play better than we have thus far to get by Harvard. What's encouraging is Harvard hasn't really blown out anybody yet and they have played some crap teams...Lehigh comes to mind. I must admit...I also have it in my head that we just don't beat Harvard. I hope the players ddon't have similar thoughts. I am tired of making the trip to harvard and walking out disappointed.

We shall see.

VERY late, but the line is finally out:

Harvard by 5 1/2.
