Harvard has won two straight since junior Neil Rose took over at quarterback following a 27-25 loss to Holy Cross. Harvard's offense has exploded since Rose took the helm--

the Crimson has scored over 40 points in two consecutive games for the first time since 1938. Rose has been outstanding thus far--completing over 60 percent of his passes for 755 yards.

Cornell is coming off a 35-16 loss to No. 18 Lehigh. The Big Red suffered a season-opening blowout loss to Bucknell, but beat Yale 24-23 a week later.

The Big Red is led by junior quarterback Ricky Rahne, one of the premier passers in Division 1-AA. In just thirteen games, Rahne has become the second most productive quarterback in school history, and the 11th all-time leading passer in the Ivies.

"You have to respect such a great quarterback," said junior cornerback Andy Fried. "He can throw the deep ball really well, and he reads the field well."

Rahne's favorite target is senior wideout Joe Splendorio, an all-Ivy selection last year who needs just 55 yards to become only the second Big Red receiver with 2,000 yards receiving in school history.

"He's as good as any I-AA wide receiver in the country," Murphy said.
