they should be happy they didn't schedule Lehigh this year That's an understatement. Lehigh is undefeated against the Ivies for several years now. BTW, who was Penn scheduled to play in their (cancelled) opener? I can't find it anywhere. I watched the 1st half of Penn-Princeton and without really trying, I counted at least 4 instances where Penn ran illegal picks on offense with no call. They've been getting away with it for the last few years. Bill Bergey does the "color" for these games and he's pretty awful (otherwise, he'd have a real job). I defer to his football knowledge (he's actually pretty good with the X's and O's; but his on-air personality sucks), but he made the statement that Penn QB Gavin Hoffman could play at the next level. I hope he's talking about Europe or Arena ball, because Hoffman, although he's accurate and has a nice touch at 8-15 yds, in no way, shape or form has NFL arm strength. In fact, his arm strength is way below average. Plus he has zero mobility. The Penn player I would expect to see in the NFL is RB Kris Ryan, although Columbia's Jon Reese is a bit quicker. If Jim Finn can land on the Colts roster, Ryan can certainly catch on with someone and Reese should also. Another future pro is Harvard LB Dante Balestracci. He's quick enough, but I'd like to see him add some upper-body strength first. But he's only a Soph, so he's got 2 years to hit the iron. I have to root for Harvard Saturday, if only because I'd like to see a shift in the balance of power in the league. Speaking of QB arm strenth, did you see that kid at LSU? Whoa! He's kind of a Culpepper clone. Huge body, huge arm.
