Added Weight Helps Mazza Fly

That’s good news for an offensive line plagued by injuries, one which saw at least five players’ time limited by injury, much to the sidelined Frey’s chagrin.

Setting fall’s two-a-days as his target, Frey said he plans on being back at full strength come the season opener against Holy Cross on Sept. 18.

“Assuming my off-season workouts go well,” Frey said, “that would mean getting my leg back in shape. I hope to be as strong if not stronger than what I was last year.”

THIRD AND 10

Sophomore Ryan Tyler—who suffered a knee injury two weeks ago that had limited his snaps in practice—was surprisingly utilized by Harvard coach Tim Murphy in Friday’s Crimson-White game. Tyler, who began the transition from running back to wide receiver after losing the backfield battle to Northwestern transfer Clifton Dawson last season, made little impact participating at less than full strength…With Dawson sidelined by the coaching staff for what he termed “precautionary reasons” during the Spring Game, freshman Raffael DeLuca carried the bulk of the load rushing 13 times for 83 yards, but given Dawson’s history as a workhorse and the expected return of Edwards next season, it is unlikely that DeLuca will be so heavily relied upon in Murphy’s offensive set with any regularity…With the spot formerly filled by number-two receiver Rodney Byrnes almost certainly filled by Mazza after his dazzling spring, the competition for Mazza’s old role continues to heat up. Sophomore Corey Waller had impressed coaches throughout off-season workouts, but it was freshman Danny Brown who stood out as second-best with his six catches and 65 yards on Friday…With spring ball officially over, the countdown has begun. Only 139 days until opening kickoff against the Crusaders at Soldier’s Field.
