"It's Ice-T man, c'mon, you should know that," chided Svicarovich. The contestant answers incorrectly and Regis breaks for commercial, allowing the interview to continue. The next question is about the decision to change quarterbacks in favor of Brad Wilford this year.

"I was glad about that quarterback change," Svicarovich said. "I think we were pulling for Brad. The guy with the better arm should play."

Even with Wilford and Menick and Terrence Patterson setting records, the Harvard offense has had problems, including interceptions and turnovers that have resulted in the defense playing long stretches in the middle of the game.

"It's nobody's fault. Football is a team game," Green said.

"Yeah, you can't blame the offense. I mean, we can't control what they do," Svicarovich added.

As the show winds down and Regis requests the audience to tune in the next night, the conversation turns reflective and personal, as the players talk about how they've grown, who they admire and what they will do now.

As seniors, the players are the ones the freshman and sophomores look up to. But who did they look up to?

"A lot of guys, but I would have to say [senior running back] Chris Menick," Natale said. "He's a tough guy."
