A win against Harvard would give Lafayette its first 4-0 season record against the Ivy League schools in school history.

The Crimson, meanwhile, is looking to continue its three-game trend of winning with increasing margins.

In these wins, Harvard has demonstrated versatility in its attack.

“I think in the past games, we’ve shown that we can either run the ball or pass the ball,” junior wide-out Marco Iannuzzi said. “Now we want to do both in one game.”

Harvard hasn’t been pushed to deploy all of its weapons in its three victories but may have to this weekend.

In the last two weekends against Cornell and Lehigh, it was the running game that got the offense going.

Against the Big Red, junior Gino Gordon and freshman Treavor Scales combined for 251 yards and 4 touchdowns.

In the game against the Mountain Hawks with Gordon and Scales out, senior Cheng Ho led the way with 132 yards on 21 carries. Meanwhile, Winters was the star of Harvard’s night time thriller against Brown, throwing for 223 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for another.

“Having our two dimensions [on attack] helps us wi th the edge in getting us more versatile,” Ho added.

If the weather is as predicted, the Crimson may have to rely on its running game more.

“We’re football players, and we’re based out of Boston,” Iannuzzi said. “So if you’re not used to the weather, better get used to it quick.”

Iannuzzi does concede that rain could change the offense and the scoring.

“Weather conditions can obviously change the game, but it’s not a disadvantage,” he said. “Both teams are forced to run. Both teams have to deal with the same adversity.”

“If it’s a crummy day, it’s going to be a low-scoring game,” Murphy said. “Because both defenses are good, and if by weather or other ways, teams are forced to play one handed, you become predictable.”

Perhaps if the weather is bad enough to interfere with fans’ vision, it could become possible to confuse the two teams’ similar three-man rushing attacks.
