The dynamic duo of Perry and Campbell, who are almost single-handedly responsible for a Brown offense that averages 36-points a game, will put the pressure on senior quarterback Brad Wilford and the rest of the Harvard offense to have a big game.
The Crimson offense came up big last week in a 63-21 rout of Dartmouth, setting 12 either Ivy or Harvard records in the process.
Wilford set school marks for passing yards and total offense in a game, completing 26-of-34 passes for 398 yards through the air and 387 yards in total offense (he lost 11 yards rushing).
The offensive explosion broke Don Allard's '83 mark for passing yards, and Larry Brown's '79 sum for total offense, despite the fact that Wilford didn't play a minute of the fourth quarter.
Along with Wilford, both senior running back Chris Menick and senior receiver Terence Patterson will need to have huge days if Harvard's to come out on top.
Menick became Harvard's all-time leading rusher with 3,157 career yards last week against Dartmouth, while Patterson set the all-time mark for receptions with 127 in his career as well last Saturday.
The record setting day against Dartmouth was icing on the cake in the blowout victory, but Harvard may need to rack up just as many yards in total offense just to squeak out a narrow victory over Brown.
Dartmouth, despite its 1-6 record was supposed to be deceptively tough. Brown, on the other hand, is a sure-fire bet to give the Crimson defense a headache all day long.
