CENTRAL CONNECTICUT – The Blue Devils have one of the top running backs in the
country, a quarterback who transferred in from an FBS program and an eye-catching win over
2013 national championship finalist Towson in their opener. Tailback Rob Hollomon was
named the national offensive player of the week after one of the biggest wins in school history.
Nick San Giacomo is a solid quarterback but the defense is still a work in progress.
at UNH – The Wildcats advanced to the national semifinals a year ago and return a wealth of
players this fall. Quarterback Sean Goodrich can run and throw. Tailback Nico Steriti ran for
1,028 yards a year ago while wide receiver RJ Harris was grabbing 76 passes for 1,062 yards.
UNH will be a handful playing the first home night game in school history.
PENN – Coach Al Bagnoli begins his final year at the helm without quarterback Billy Ragone,
who tortured Dartmouth for five years. Alek Torgersen is unproven but Bagnoli has expressed
great confidence in him. Conner Scott is a talented receiver but the offensive line is an area of
concern. The Quakers are solid at linebacker and in the secondary but have had to rebuild the
defensive front that has long been their signature.
at YALE – Tailback Tyler Varga battled injuries last fall but if he’s 100 percent he’s as good as
anyone in the Ivy League. With a year of seasoning after transferring from Clemson, Morgan
Roberts will begin the season at quarterback. Fifth-year receiver Deon Randall is dangerous
any time he touches the football. Defensive end Victor Egu could be a monster for the
Bulldogs, who return two All-Ivy League players in the secondary.
HOLY CROSS – Peter Pujals might be the best dual-threat quarterback Dartmouth faces this
year. Top running back Gabe Guild also returns although he suffered a head injury in the seasonopening loss at Albany. Three starters and a fifth-year senior are back up front. The secondary is the
most seasoned unit in a retooled defense.
at COLUMBIA – The Lions lost heralded Stanford transfer Brett Nottingham in their first
game last fall and without the big quarterback they finished 0-10. Nottingham is back but the
Lions’ top running back and tight end have graduated. All-Ivy lineman Niko Padilla heads up a
defense that lost its top four tacklers and will have to improve.
HARVARD – Ho hum, Harvard is loaded again. Leading the way are returning quarterback
Connor Hempel and tailback Paul Stanton, Jr., the leading returning rusher in the Ivy League.
Returning at receiver is a third All-Ivy pick in Ricky Zorn, and the offensive line might be the
best in Tim Murphy’s tenure. Pass rusher Zach Hodges is the star of a relatively young defense
and might be the best defensive player in the conference.
at CORNELL – Record-setting QB Jeff Mathews has finally graduated, but for all his big
numbers he was never able to get Cornell over the .500 hump. The offense will run through
tailback Luke Hagy, also a talented receiver out of the backfield. The push will be to improve
the run game and step up the defense this year, but the Big Red could struggle on both counts
with a largely unproven cast defensively.
BROWN – No team in the nation took a bigger graduation hit than Brown, which lost the
league’s leading rusher and 11 members of the first or second All-Ivy team. The Bears have a
solid dual-threat QB in Marcus Fuller and a talented linebacker in Daniel Giovacchini to lead
the defense. Coach Phil Estes has a talent for rebuilding and that skill will be put to the test.
at PRINCETON – The Tigers lost a lot and they return a lot. Foremost among the missing
is NFL draft pick Caraun Reid, a devastating defensive lineman. Foremost among the
returnees is QB Quinn Epperly, the reigning Bushnell Cup winner as the top offensive player
in the league. Top rusher DiAndre Atwater also returns. The secondary will be the strength

of the defense, but the offense is the strength of the team after averaging 43.7 points in 2013.
