Penn Football Preview: Watch the Throne

Our annual football season preview hit stands Friday! Pick up a copy of the DP before you head down to Franklin Field tomorrow for the 6 p.m. kickoff.

For those who aren't on campus, we'll be liveblogging the game, which should be infinitely more interesting than watching it on ESPN3.

And to get you in the mood, I've compiled all of the supplement here on the Buzz. You can also bookmark TheDP.com/Football for content all season long.

The feature, written by the talented Sushaan Modi, is a throwback to the Penn football dynasty of the early 1980s, led by coach Jerry Berndt. Penn won five straight titles from 1982-86, the last three of which were outright. No team has won three outright titles in a row since, and Penn has a shot to match history again this season. A must read for any Penn sports fan.
Vivek Sivakumar examines at the vacancy in the kicker position, which appears will be filled by freshman Connor Loftus.
Coach Al Bagnoli has built a core of wingmen who keep his engine running. Mike Wisniewski takes a look at his loyal assistant coaches.
Ethan Alter breaks down the QBs of the Ivy League, as each team returns its signal caller from last season.
And as we do every year, check out the position by position breakdown for Penn's roster.

In terms of multimedia, we've also got a photo gallery from the 1984-86 championship games, and an interactive look at the old tradition of tearing down the Franklin Field goalposts after winning the Ivy title. You can also download the full PDF of the Football Preview here.

Finally, Brian Kotloff previews Saturday's kickoff against Lafayette.
