Cozza's no idiot, either. He knows Giardi is good and he's ready for him.
"Harvard is a dangerous team. Mike Giardi is an excellent quarterback who really can make things happen," Cozza said.
Last year, Giardi was held to 83 yards on 14 carries, but Captain Robb Hirsch exploded for 99 yards on 10 carries. The same personnel are in place today.
Both the offense and the defense are peaking at the right time. Giardi had a career game against Brown and another against Penn. The defense is coming through in the clutch.
Cross your fingers and hold your breath, but this just could be the year.
VOICE OF THE PLAYERS
"I used to go to The Game with my father and brother and some friends when I was younger. I remember one game, over at Yale. It was bitterly cold--like 20 below with the wind chill. But the guys were out there and playing strong, and I just remembered thinking how great it was. So I'm psyched to be a part of it." --Captain Robb Hirsch, senior halfback
