Harvard Meets Big Green in Crucial Ivy Contest

Work Horse

The work horse of the Big Green running game is senior halfback Bob Friedl who has rushed for 293 yards on 68 carries, most of which has come inside.

The Dartmouth passing attack shouldn't pose too much of a threat to the Crimson's improving secondary, especially if Big Green split end Tom Fleming is out of action. The fleet Fleming represents Dartmouth's only long-ball threat and his absence will restrict the Big Green to a short passing game.

"From the Brown films, Dartmouth looks like a really well-coached ball club, said linebacker Eric Kursweil. "They use good plays and good series. Although their passing game won't be that great if Fleming doesn't play, they'll still be the first real test defensively for us."
