If there’s anyone who can relate to the Harvard football team right now, it’s Bugs Bunny.

Just as he thought he was all set for an easy victory in a basketball game against some annoying pint-sized aliens, it appeared that the Crimson was poised to snatch its 14th Ivy League championship, after it was picked first by the media in the preseason poll earlier this year.

But both the Crimson and the Tune Squad soon realized their opponents were much tougher than expected. The same way a magic basketball turned the aliens into an NBA-caliber lineup, a number of impressive victories have revealed the Quakers to be one of the top FCS teams in the country.

An injury-plagued Harvard has turned to drastic measures, starting three different quarterbacks this season and even making one of its linebackers into a punter.

Like the Looney Tunes, Harvard will have to break out its “Secret Stuff” if it expects to leave Penn with a victory tomorrow.

PRINCETON (1-7, 0-5 Ivy) at YALE (6-2, 4-1)

The Tigers have been overwhelmed by all but the most docile of opponents, with their lone victory coming in double overtime against a Lafayette team that looked more like kittens than Leopards. Allowing Penn to hit the half-century mark with 52 points? It’s as if every time the league starts to forget about Princeton, the Tigers find a way to remind everyone just how bad they are.

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, have been making a different kind of noise. By beating Brown and only losing to the Quakers by seven, Yale has proved itself to be one of the best teams in the league.

PREDICTION: Yale 28, Princeton 7.

CORNELL (2-6, 1-4) at COLUMBIA (3-5, 1-4)

If the Lions are feeling a little depressed after multiple disappointing Ivy losses, a contest against the Big Red seems to offer the perfect cure: an easy home victory against a local-area opponent.

Same state and same record? Yes. Same kind of team? Not even close.

The city slickers barely lost to Yale, while their upstate counterparts barely beat Princeton.

When people tell you they’re going to New York, do they mean they’re headed for the middle of nowhere or one of the most famous cities in the world?

The winner’s spoils will head the same way.
