27-24 Harvard early in the 4th. Big TD drive for Brown to pull close.

Quick strike by Harvard. Small QB but a beautiful pass into Brown territory. Then a 30 yard TD to the TE up the seam. 34-24 Harvard.

Harvard going to win 34-31. They had a nice drive to eat up clock at the end to clinch it.

Don’t know what anyone else thinks, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with Harvard tonight.
I think they are a .500 team in the Ivy this year.

The RB amd TE for Brown dragged defenders on a few of their second half drives. They look bigger than Merrimack but smaller than BC and Yale. Should be ok if everyone is healthy. I think Sluka can pick them apart. Running up the gut could be tough.

This isn't Murphy's first year coaching. I commented on another thread. You could sense Coach was ready for a comment of some sort and then the interviewer inadvertently gave him an out. Harvard quarterback has designed run plays like Sluka does, it should be a good game.

It may well be, but "I am not thinking about that game yet."

I don't think the Ivy is overall as strong as it was 5 or 6 years ago. IMO. Brown might be top half of the league this year, given that Dartmouth is understandably down with the tragic passing of Teevens. Columbia might be back to being Columbia with Bagnoli gone. After Yale, Harvard and Princeton, I could see either Brown, Cornell or Penn looking to be that 4th team in the top half. Yale-Cornell game could be interesting. How will the highly touted, highly experienced Eli respond to getting steamrolled in the 2nd half last week? Cornell opened by grinding out a road win at Lehigh.

They were picked 4th in their preseason poll and looked worse than that (Brown picked 8). Know there are Crossporters convinced H and Y are formidable foes this year. Don’t know why and certainly wasn’t the case with Yale.

[/quote I imagine a big part of this is due to Brown’s rival (do they have one?) being Harvard, but Harvard doesn’t really think of Brown as a rival. They’re a little brother. Obviously, Yale is Harvard’s rival. Ipsofscto, Brown always gets up for Harvard, while Harvard may struggle matching that intensity.

Because we are elitists who probably watch royal weddings at 3AM also?🙂 I think one reason I am respectful of IL FB is because that league has generally had a winning percentage against the PL. Maybe that's about to change if the rest of the PL emulates HC's upgrades in the program.

Both grandstands appeared equally rabid. Now the 2-0 Harvard and HC faithful have to cram into Polar Park, which oddly isn't sold out yet. I know the world ends at the Newton/Wellesley line for many proper Bostonians but playing the #6 ranked team and playing in the region's newest ballpark should draw some interest. The Polar Park location gets good play in various reports.

Would Nolan Grooms (Yale starting and ALL-Ivy QB and last year’s Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year) be the Holy Cross second string or HC third string QB this year? (I am not suggesting he is undeserving of his Ivy League accolades.)

It's too bad. I think at Fitton we could draw 15k, especially after a rainy weekend this weekend.
First time going to Polar next week, looking forward to a rabid atmosphere. Hopefully we see as many if not more students than previous editions. From what I'm hearing from some of my former students at HC presently, the game and pre-game are now highlights every week. One said "we're a football school now!" Busses to Polar for them I hope.
Almost time to get ready for our game. Hope the weather holds as long as possible!

The Harvard QB had designed runs last night that looked like a royalty should have been paid to Sluka. It will be interesting to see if they work against an HC Defense that plays against Matt in practice.

Passing om today, weather scared me off and the BC game served as a quasi-Homecoming for myself seeing a multitude of HC people that weekend. I do get a lifetime dispensation for being a "fair-weather fan" having attended both Syracuse '73 and Brown '80 To make up for it, I hope to attend my 1st Plolahhh Pahhhk game next week.

Well, if it’s an open question as to whether the Ivy’s best QB would be 2nd or 3rd string at HC that probably tells you all you need to know regarding HC football relative to Ivy football.

Army at Syracuse one to monitor today. offensive line for Army going to work and looking good vs Syracuse. No huge plays but chunk runs. They are excellent at run blocking and mediocre at best pass blocking. Army QB had already taken a hit throwing the ball.
