Defensive Woes: The Crimson defense has allowed 137 points in the last four games, an average of 34 points per game.

Last year, Harvard gave up only 70 points in its first five games. That averages out to only two touchdowns.

Upside-Down Deja Vu: In last year's Harvard-Dartmouth match-up at The Stadium, the Big Green fell victim to the turnover.

Last Saturday in Hanover, it was the Crimson which suffered from errant passes and fumbles.

Last year, Harvard capitalized on big plays, including a 73-yd. run by Tony Hinz.

This year, it was the Green that cashed in on the big play.

Last year, the final score was Harvard 42, Dartmouth 3.

This year, it was Dartmouth by 31 points.

Time to Get A Sandwich:Welcome to the world of televised sports.

ESPN's telecast of last Saturday's game in Hanover had so many television timeouts that the game--which began at 12:30 p.m.--lasted longer than Columbia's losing streak.

Well, not really, but it did take about three-and-a half hours to play.

To make sure that the players would not start playing during timeouts. the officials assumed the TV timeout position. Each official stood still at a certain part of the field with his hands behind his back as if he was playing Freeze Tag. They wouldn't budge until the Total Sports Network gave the signal to resume play.
