To do that, Princeton will need to fill the shoes left by Mike Catapano ’13, defensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs, and linebacker Andrew Starks ’13.
With its first game fast approaching, the Tiger football team looks to add explosive potential to its fast-paced offense. However, the question of who will start under center still remains.
As the football team prepared to take the field against Lehigh for last year’s season opener, the number of people who knew who would start under center for Princeton was so small that, well, everyone who knew was preparing to take the field.
