...Americas. American football has touched down across the Atlantic - and it brought its penchant for pageantry along with it. A 26-foot animatronic version of Jason Taylor, the Dolphins standout defensive end, stood sentry over the parking lot as a capacity crowd of 81,176 streamed in. Fireworks punctuated player introductions, and a pop band performed at midfield before a ceremonial coin toss. Flashbulbs popped incessantly, lighting the stands like a strobe.

Two weeks ago, undefeated Yale looked unstoppable, and star Bulldogs running back Mike McLeod was in the thick of the race for the Walter Payton Award, given annually to the best player in Division I-AA. And though McLeod’s still in the running for the hardware and the Bulldogs are still unbeaten, the league’s parity—something almost every coach has talked about this season—is becoming apparent. Yale squeaked by Penn a week...
