Fordham uses two quarterbacks, junior Matt Georgia and sophomore Mark Carney. Carney takes the majority of the snaps and averages 148 yards passing per game.
Georgia averages only 66 yards per game but he hasn't been used nearly as much as Carney has been.
No matter which quarterback has been behind center for the Rams, the offensive line has been unable to protect him. Fordham quarterbacks have been sacked 21 times this season.
Harvard's senior-laden defensive front should be able to make both Ram quarterbacks experience long afternoons. The Crimson's defensive line should be able to exploit Fordham's lack of experience on the offensive line.
The defensive line's advantage should be enhanced by Fordham's inability to run the football. The Rams only average 63 yards per game on the ground.
This imbalance in the Fordham offense will allow the Harvard defensive line to focus on putting pressure on the passer.
A major concern for the Crimson is that the players won't be emotionally ready and take this game for granted.
