"Given two good defensive teams, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a low-scoring game, a typical Ivy late October game," Murphy said.
While neither Harvard's players nor the coaching staff are looking past this crucial matchup, the Crimson is probably the better squad. Last year, when both teams were struggling, Harvard blanked Princeton 24-0 in New Jersey. The Tigers have not faced an offense even close to the high-octane Crimson attack this season. Unless Harvard fails to execute its game plan this Saturday, the clash against Dartmouth next weekend will likely be for the Ivy Championship. Andrew A.
