...cover up its atrocious secondary (111th in pass defense out of 116 teams in division I-AA), things will inevitably break down. When they do, Polhemus will elude the rush unlike any quarterback Harvard has faced, and find the Ancient Eight’s best pair of receivers to reveal the Crimson scheme for exactly what it is: a bad comb-over.
