In 1984, the Brown defense surrendered more total yardage than any other crew in the Ivy League, and only winless Columbia gave up more total points. Last season, a more experienced Bruins defensive unit rated tops in the Ancient Eight, recording four shutouts and allowing Ivy opponents just over seven points per contest.

After losing six of 11 defensive starters to graduation, including first team All-Ivy selections Ted Moskala and Tom Catena, Coach John Rosenberg finds his defense right back in a state of transition.

Also gone are tailback Jamie Potkul, who rushed for over 1000 yards last season, and quarterback Steve Kettelberger, who averaged more total yards per game than any other Ivy signal-caller in '86. Rosenberg, though, will have more depth at these positions than in recent years.

Look for junior Jamie Simone to spearhead the Bruins' running game and for safety-turned-wide receiver-turned-quarterback Keiron Bigby to pick up where Kettelberger left off. An offensive line which boasts four returning 250-pounders is likely to be Brown's greatest strength this fall as the Bruins seek to improve on the 4-3 Ivy mark they have recorded each of the past two campaigns.
