Tigers tangle with Toreros

One of the first signs of greatness in a sports team is the ability to beat the best. Then, once a team is itself recognized as the best, it achieves true greatness when it proves it can keep winning against opponents eager to spoil the cream of the crop.Tomorrow afternoon against San Diego (3-0 overall), the football team (1-0) will get a taste of the second phase of this process before it has even had a chance to complete step one.Though the Tigers were picked to finish sixth in the Ivy League preseason media poll and have yet to prove they can hang with the Penns and Harvards of the world, the Toreros will arrive at Princeton Stadium prepared to do battle with what they, at least, consider the most worthy of hosts."I feel like this is the best team we'll see the entire season," San Diego head coach Jim Harbaugh said of Princeton.
