He has spread the ball around to a deep receiving corps, which features five players with more than ten catches. Standouts in the large crop include seniors Charlie Buckley and Stephen Smith.
The Brown running game is led by the tandem of Paul Fichiera and Marquis Jessie. Fichiera, a junior, rushed for 124 yards last week against Cornell and has an 80-yard average this season. Jessic, a sophomore, has also averaged over 80 yards-per-game. He returns to the Bear lineup this week after missing two games for hernia surgery.
The Brown defense will try to match last week's sterling effort. It will try to slow down a highly productive Harvard attack.
The Bear defenders have had trouble this season, giving up more than 300 yards and twenty points-per-game.
Junior defensive end Tony Quarnaccio, who also doubles as a flanker for the Bears, had four sacks in the win over Cornell and anchors a solid Brown front three.
Senior safety Eugene Smith leads the Bears in tackles with 68 and also has two interceptions on the season.
The Brown defense also has a big-play man in senior Tom Hurst. Against Cornell, Hurst returned a fumble 61 yards to the Big Red six-yard line and picked off a pass to secure the win.
If the game comes down to a field goal, Brown could have a distinct advantage. Bear kicker Bob Warden has had excellent accuracy, converting on eight of nine field goals attempts this season.
In addition to place kicking, the Bears have suffered from rather anemic special teams play, averaging only 14 yards per kick-off return, six yards per punt return and 35 yards per punt.
If Harvard is to win, it must put together another solid all-around performance; it must match its consistent offense with an adequate defensive effort. A win would give the Crimson a winning record in the Ivy League and clinch at least a .500 mark for the season.
Harvard could also extend its traditional domination over Brown in the teams' series history. Despite losing 43-29 last year, Harvard has won 11 of the last 13 meetings with the Bears and leads the overall series 68-23-2.
No matter what the outcome is, the game promises to be entertaining and to have a tremendous impact on the Ivy standings.
