Just wondering.

By the way, what ever happened to junior Terry Denson?

The Webster, N.Y. native served notice last month that he might be a force to reckon with, when he hauled in a 60-yd. touchdown pass that proved the difference in Harvard's 10-3 win over UMass.

Since then, the junior wing back hasn't caught a thing.

And what about Mike McConnell, who picked up 17 yards on five carries in the Crimson's first game of the year but who hasn't been seen since?

Just wondering again.

From the not that it matters, but file: Harvard (5-2 overall, 4-1 Ivy) is 1-1 in non-Ivy games this year, and will close out its non-league schedule Saturday at Holy Cross.

If Harvard wins, it will mark the first time since 1973 that the Crimson has compiled a winning mark against non-league opponents in a year ending with an odd number.

If Harvard loses, it will mark the first time in the Joe Restic era that the Crimson has suffered back-to-back losing campaigns against non-Ivy foes.

Holy Cross will enter Saturday's showdown at Fitton Field with a 3-4-1 record. Harvard leads the series between the two clubs, 25-12-2.

The series started with a 28-5 Crimson win in 1904, and Harvard went on to win the first nine games before a 7-6 Crusader victory in 1925.

The teams have played each of the last five years and have each won two games. Holy Cross won last year after a 10-10 tie in 1983. The last Harvard win was a 24-17 win in 1982 in the only game the Crimson has ever played at Fitton Field.
