Harvard gave up 21 points last Saturday against Dartmouth which was averaging less than 10 points per game heading into the contest.
If Harvard plays the same way against Brown, it might not matter how many points the offense can put up on the board.
Little mistakes like Wilford's wayward pass that was returned for a touchdown and pulled Dartmouth to within a pair of touchdowns, 35-21, may not have hurt the Crimson last week.
However, if the Crimson offense aids Perry's cause in the least, it could be a long day.
Wilford will have to lead the charge for Harvard as Brown's main weakness is its pass defense.
The hole in the defense is in the secondary, which has allowed quarterbacks to pick their way through it all season, giving up more than 250 yards through the air each game.
An already weak Brown secondary took a huge hit last week when tri-captain Azibo Smith was probably lost for the season after re-injuring his knee.
