Head coach: Al Bagnoli

1995 Ivy Record: 5-2

Outlook: Always a physical team, Penn has dominated the Ivy League for a decade through its uncanny recruiting ability. But times have changed; the Quakers have lost All-Ivy receiver Miles Macik to graduation and return an inexperienced quarterback in Steve Teodecki. Still, Penn remains dangerous, as running back Aman Abye (145 carries for 695 yards) and a host of veteran lineman return to a dangerous Quaker line-up.

Brown Bears

Projected Rank: #4

Head coach: Mark Whipple

1995 Ivy Record: 2-5

Outlook: Brown's Ivy record is deceptive in that the Bears were 5-5 overall and lost to Dartmouth, Princeton and Yale by a combined margin of nine points. The Bears scored more than 28 points in six contests, and return quarterback Jason McCollough (2,402 yards passing, 22 touchdowns) and running back Marquis Jesse (141 carries for 773 yards). If the Bears defense can hold its opponents under 20 points, Brown could seriously contend for the Ivy crown.

Harvard Crimson

Projected Rank: #5

Head coach: Tim Murphy

1995 Ivy Record: 1-6

Outlook: Harvard has the talent to compete with anybody in the Ivy League. If the Crimson can remain healthy--particularly the offensive line--then the team should be considered a dark horse candidate to win the Ancient Eight. More realistically, Harvard should finish over .500 for the first time since 1987. See Team Preview page C-1.

Cornell Big Red

Projected Rank: #6
