Offensive Line: If half a running back's success is due to the offensive line, this group can gloat. Brian Keys' great year is due, in large part, to this unit, one of the bulkiest in the Ivy League.
Defensive Line: The Quakers defense has allowed its Ivy League opponents an average of just 12 points a game. The defensive line is anchored by 6-ft., 245 pound Dan Bauer, who leads the club with seven sacks. The other fellows up front are Kyle Stephenson and Eric Poderys.
Linebackers: Mike Henley has a tackle for every occasion. He leads the Quakers in the tackling department with 105. His co-star is Bill Caughell, who is second on the team in tackles with 67. This duo will be forced to deal with Rod MacLeod's option quarterbacking style.
Secondary: It's a shot to centerfield. Charters is going back, back, back. He's up against the wall. Interception. Free safety Tom Charters, the centerfielder on Penn's baseball team, leads the club in interceptions with five. He can hit the curveball, too.
Kicking Game: Rich Friedenberg provides a strong, if unspectacular leg (22 of 22 on PATS and a long kick of 42 yards). Punter Dave Amendio is average, averaging 33.2 yards per boot. This week's prediction: Harvard will block an Amendio punt late in the third quarter.
Intangibles: Do you think Penn wants its undefeated season holted by a bunch of Harvardians who, Quaker players believe, had no business winning the title last year? Penn is looking to make up for last year's 31-14 loss. It is also eyeing its second undefeated season in three years. Step aside, Harvard, the locomotive is racing down the tracks.
Coach: Ed Zubrow is in his third season at the Penn helm. He has posted 22 victories and only six losses. He is well on the way to leading the Quakers to their second undefeated season in three years. The team's 8-0 record is remarkable because the Quakers were expected to go nowhere.
