And even without starting quarterback Collier Winters—backup Colton Chapple will start his third game in a row—the offense has been running smoothly. Three games into the year, Harvard looks like it might be the strongest team in the league.
But don’t count out Cornell. Quarterback Jeff Matthews is one of the best in the league, and he’s just a sophomore. This isn’t the Big Red squad of 2010—while the team might not be a title contender yet, it’s certainly more of a threat than it was a year ago.
The way Harvard has been playing of late, it looks like it could be hard to stop. And with the Crimson having lost to Cornell just once since 2001, I’ll side with history.
Pick: Harvard 27, Cornell 16
RECORD LAST WEEK: 4-2
