"I think that the offensive line really played well against Cornell," Coach Tim Murphy said.
Although its performance was fairly solid against Cornell, the game was marred by numerous penalties for the offensive line. The line's inexperience explains much of the problem and the Crimson looks for the penalties to decrease against the Rams.
Additionally, Fordham's anemic pass rush--which has managed only 4 sacks all season--should pose no threat to Wilford and the offensive line.
Although Harvard should be able to throw with ease against the Rams, the Crimson will strive for a balanced offensive attack.
"We're not going to look to only one aspect of our offense," Murphy said. "We're going to look to be balanced and give them lots of different looks offensively."
Indeed, it may be difficult to decide which aspect of the Fordham defense to attack. Although the Rams have given up 182 yards per game through the air, they've also yielded over 250 yards on the ground per game to go along with a disappointing 6.1 yards per rushing attempt.
The Crimson ground attack, which leads the Ivy League in rushing offense with 202 yards per game, will look to up that average against the Rams.
