Equally dangerous downfield are senior wideout Jake Fuller and junior wideout Tommy McNamara.

Fuller, a big play specialist, has tallied 417 yards receiving while averaging 19 yards per catch. McNamara has been equally impressive with 365 yards on 33 receptions.

Rounding out the Bulldogs' passing attack out of the backfield, sophomore running back James Keppel has been Walland's go to receiver when under pressure all season. Keppel is averaging 41 yards per game and has notched 336 yards on 31 receptions this season.

Faced with threats from every conceivable avenue of attack, Harvard's defense doesn't match up well against Yale's multidimensional offense.

Faced with having to defend against both a well-balanced passing and running game, Harvard may be faced with a challenge reminiscent of that faced by Dartmouth against Harvard earlier this season.

On the strength of senior quarterback Brad Wilford's record setting 398 yard passing performance and the devastating ground attack of Menick, Harvard's all-time leading rusher, the Crimson demolished Dartmouth, 63-21.

If the Harvard defense is unable to rise to the occasion against the unique threats posed by Walland and the Bulldog passing game, there will be even more pressure on Wilford and the Crimson receivers to step up and help out the defense.

Unfortunately, for the past two weeks, the Crimson defense has carried the team while the offense has sputtered.

Between the third quarter of the Brown game two weeks ago and the fourth quarter of the Penn game last week, Harvard has failed to put a single point on the board.

Although all parts of the offense have suffered and it would be unfair to point the finger at anyone specifically, every good offense starts with strong pass protection and the offensive line will have to plug its holes if Harvard is going to have a chance against Yale.

The Crimson has surrendered nine sacks in its past two outings and its inability to protect Wilford is at least partially responsible for the eight Crimson interceptions in the same timeframe.

"Absolutely, we need to concentrate on putting pressure on the quarterback because he'll make bad decisions," Yale junior linebacker Peter Mazza said. "It's important to get turnovers."

Although Wilford showed signs of brilliance earlier this season, the first year starting quarterback has faltered down the stretch. His offensive woes culminated against Penn where he passed for only 130 yards with 3 interceptions--his worst performance of the season.

"I wasn't pleased with my play these past two games, especially with the turnovers," Wilford said. "But I'm not going to reinvent my game over the next week. It's just been bad decisions and some bad luck...I've pondered all those losses over and over in my head and I just can't put my finger on what went wrong."

If Wilford falters again against the Bulldogs, Harvard's hopes may rest exclusively on Menick, the Ivy's second leading rusher.
