The Battlefield

So, who’s gonna win this ol’ game? On paper, these are two very evenly matched teams. With a little luck, if both teams play to their capabilities, this year’s Game could be an epic.

Edge: Yale

INTANGIBLES

Both teams are out of the Ivy Championship race. Penn locked up sole possession of the title last week with its 32-24 victory against the Crimson. Harvard has taken the last two against the Elis, including celebrating an undefeated season in front of Yale’s home fans the last time The Game was in New Haven. This should give Yale some added motivation.

But Fitzpatrick looked just good enough against Penn to give the Crimson faithful hope. If he can shake off the rust and find another receiving target besides Edwards, Dawson and the defense should be able to hold off Yale—but it’s gonna be close.
