Hoffman is a transfer from Big Ten team Northwestern.
Penn has tallied 227 yards per game and 10 touchdowns this season through the air. Penn, much like Harvard, possesses a balanced offense that utilizes multiple sets and tries to keep the defense guessing. The Crimson has averaged 398 yards per game offensively this season, the Quakers, 383.
Both Harvard and Penn have gained 5.3 yards per play on offense and while the Crimson has scored 26 touchdowns this season, the Quakers have scored 23.
Because the two offenses are so similar, the difference could very well be the defense--especially against the pass.
Both defenses have been victimized by passing offenses this season. Opposing quarterbacks have engineered a string of fourth-quarter comebacks against Harvard this season.
"[Penn] had a lot of trouble adjusting to Brown's spread formations and passing game," Murphy said.
Because of this, look for both coaching staffs to open up their offenses tomorrow.
