Football: Harvard, Penn to provide serious challenges
With first-year head coach Bob Surace ’90 having just completed an intense, fitness-focused training camp for players both returning and new, many are waiting with anticipation to see the debut of what will surely be a markedly different football team from those of years past. Though Princeton was tagged to finish only sixth in the Ivy League in this year’s preseason media poll, there’s no telling what surprises and unexpected achievements Surace’s fresh approach might bring to the program. What is certain, however, is that if the Tigers hope to improve upon last season’s 4-6 record and have a shot at finishing in the top half of the Ivy League, they’ll have to do so by defeating a series of tough opponents — many of whom are looking sharper and more adept than ever.
