After a slow start last week against Cornell, the Crimson will look to bounce back against a LaFayette team that has been inconsistent this season. The game is a good opportunity to get the offense back on track after they struggled in the first half last week. Harvard has been pretty balanced this season so. They have played well in all three phases. They need to get back to that…
Week seven features some big games with conference ramifications. Boston College hosts N.C State but there are other games that could have an impact on the end of the season and what happens next. Holy Cross hosts Georgetown in a game that will have Patriot League implications. Rhode Island travels to Towson to take a Tigers team that is 2-3 but dangerous. The Rams can ill-afford a let down after…

Rhode Island was the other big story this weekend. The 18th ranked Rams upset 9th ranked Delaware 22-15. The Rams won the game thanks to a blocked punt by senior defensive tackle Andre Biebeault.

It was a tough night in Death Valley for the Eagles. Another weekend of great college football action in the area is in the books. There were several great games this weekend. Here are my thoughts on the week that was. Boston College had a golden opportunity to end up in the drivers seat in the ACC Atlantic and they didn’t get it done against Clemson. Penalties, turnovers and some…
The Crimson visit Holy Cross today to take on a Crusaders team that has been playing at a high level thus far this season. Harvard has been impressive themselves thus far in back to back blow out wins over Georgetown and Brown. Running back Aaron Shamplkin has been the story thus far for the Crimson rushing for 304 yards and four touchdowns through two games. He will be the key…

The Missouri win was important for Boston College because after years of mediocrity, the program has finally become a major player in the ACC and nationally. As important as the Missouri win was, the Eagles need to follow…

Controlling the play and putting on a show for the Crimson faithful, routing Ivy League foe Brown 49-17. The victory was Harvard football head coach Tim Murphy’s 180th, setting the record for most wins at an…
Harvard proved last Saturday showed that the two year layoff did not affect them as they rolled over Georgetown 44-9. Sophomore Charlie Dean got the start for the Crimson and completed 10-19 passes for 94 yards and two touchdown passes. The start was surprising but Dean gives the Crimson more balance on offense because of his ability to push the ball down field vertically. Running back Aaron Shampklin ran all…
