The Quakers could not get it done against the Crimson on Saturday, as Penn's usually impressive front-seven was neutralized by a potent Harvard offense.
Deputy Sports Editor Eashwar Kantemneni believes that Penn's dominance Saturday proves its defeat against Brown was just one setback and not a sign of things to come.
"Alignment, stance, keys, responsibility" are all basic fundamentals for linebackers, who also cultivate a fundamental culture of support and growth together.
Former Senior Sports Editor Brandon Pride points out the positives from Penn's loss at Brown, such as the pass rush and opportunistic offense, and urges fans not to write the team off.
The game was a tale of two halves for the Quakers, who trailed 24-7 after a season-worst first two quarters and clawed back in the second half to no avail.
Kicker Graham Gotlieb, punter Ben Krimm, and long snapper Ryan Mannelly are proving that consistency is just one step towards becoming a dependable unit for an undefeated team.
With four games left in the season, Senior Sports Editor Matthew Frank contends that Penn's defense is the dominant unit, while the offense does just enough.
