...yards of offense, and just 17 in the fourth quarter…With his second-quarter touchdown, senior wideout Corey Mazza tied Carl Morris ’03 for first on the Crimson’s all-time touchdown receptions list with 28. Last year against Penn, Harvard great Clifton Dawson ’07 broke the league’s all-time rushing record.—Staff writer Malcom A. Glenn can be reached at mglenn@fas.harvard.edu...
Keep in mind that the last three rushing leaders in the Ancient Eight have played for title-winning squads (Clifton Dawson/Harvard ‘04, Nick Hartigan/Brown ‘05, McLeod/Yale ‘06). Now realize that McLeod already has a 353-yard cushion in the race for that distinction this season. Can anyone stuff this relentless Bulldogs running game...

The Premature Mike McLeod Watch: 2,617 yards through 23 games, 40-game projection: 4,551 yards (Clifton Dawson’s Ivy rushing record is 4,840).

The Yale ground game...
...Cornell defense has a history of success against Harvard running backs, however. Clifton Dawson never broke 100 yards in four tries against the Big Red, forcing O’Hagan and Pizzotti to try and beat them through the year—with mixed results...
Harvard’s deep receiving corps will look to pick up the slack from the departure of Clifton Dawson ’07. The running game looked fine in the season opener, aided by the scrambling ability of Liam O’Hagan. A bigger question is on defense, where two starters from the defensive line must be replaced for a unit that averaged 4.3 sacks per game last season. The secondary will be strong, led by preseason All-American Andrew Berry and All-Ivy pick Steve Williams...
