Possibly the biggest problem that Brown will have to overcome in today's match-up is its lack of diversity on offense, one which has led Restic to believe that there are three keys to stopping Brown. "If we can contain Michalko, that is, keep him from getting outside on the run stop their fullback Wally Shields, and cut off Farnham, we'll win," he said...
Wally Shields, the number two rusher in the Ivies with 312 yards in 63 carries, will be handling the majority of Brown's inside game, and Restic is confident of Harvard's ability to handle that facet of the Brown attack. "If they control the ball inside on us, I'll be very surprised. Our defense has been excellent along the line, and I don't expect Shields to cause too much of a problem," he said...
While delegating some thought to Brown's potential weaknesses, Restic has also concerned himself this week with some failures in Harvard's attack over the past few games. Specifically, the Jim Kubacki-led aerial attack has not been as sharp as expected, and much of the Crimson's practice week has been devoted to refining the passing game...
...There have been some breakdowns in our patterns in the past two weeks," Restic said. "Problems like men not getting off the line effectively and failing to clear defenses have hurt Kubacki's chances of getting the ball to them. We can't have that happening this weekend, and we won't. The receivers will be open: I can almost guarantee that. I just hope Jimmy has a good day throwing the ball...
Harvard's running attack has been less than spectacular over the recent weeks, and Restic has planned some changes in that mode of offense as well. Of particular interest will be some new sets designed to spring Kuback while maintaining the effectiveness of Tommy Winn and Chris Doherty's inside running...
