BEST CASE FOR MOVING UP THE CROWDED DEPTH CHART AT TAILBACK

Freshman running back Ryan Tyler, who set a rookie record with 120 yards on the ground against Columbia. No Rose-Morris aerial show next year? No problem.

MOST VULNERABLE POSITION ON THE COLUMBIA FOOTBALL TEAM

Quarterback. Junior Steve Hunsberger, who was sacked five times, intercepted once, hit viciously countless times and emerged from Saturday’s loss with his body and ego bruised.

BEST JOB SECURITY FOR A HEAD COACH

Lions coach Ray Tellier, who has lost more than twice as many games as he has won during his tenure as Columbia’s head coach (41-88-2), and yet is one of the longest tenured coaches in the league (this is his 13th season at the helm). Guess Lombardi was wrong about winning being the only thing—at least at Columbia.

BIGGEST CRASH BACK TO REALITY

After 231 pass attempts without an interception dating back to the season opener against Holy Cross, Harvard quarterback Neil Rose was picked off twice in his first nine attempts versus the overmatched Lions defense.

LATEST TURN ON THE CRIMSON KICKING CAROUSEL

Senior placekicker Anders Blewett, who lost his job to freshman Jim Morocco two weeks ago, may have once again lost his kicking duties after blowing a 35-yard attempt in the third quarter. Word on the street is that former soccer player and current wideout Carl Morris has attempted some field goals in practice. Maybe he should get a shot to show off his leg if the kicking woes continue.

MOST HYPED HARVARD GAME SINCE 1919 ROSE BOWL

Harvard’s meeting with Penn this weekend, which will be the featured match-up on ESPN’s College Game Day broadcast. Let’s hope that Lee Corso ends up wearing a goofy Puritan hat and not a Quaker one when he makes his game prediction.
