As the football team seeks to end its two-game losing skid and establish a dominant position in this season's Ivy League race, this weekend will be all about making a difference."We haven't made that play to make the difference in [past games against Harvard], and that's going to be our focus this week, to make sure that we try to make those plays, those two or three crucial plays that will turn the tide and help you win," head coach Roger Hughes said.Harvard (3-2 overall, 1-1 Ivy League) and Princeton (3-2, 1-1) have had drastically different fates in the Ivy League recently, but their past four games in Cambridge have been decided by a total of only fourteen points.
