Harvard and surprising Brown finished tied for the Ivy League title in 2008 after the Bears downed the Crimson in the teams’ first Ivy matchup of the season. Brown boasted a potent offense, but lost a number of key cogs to graduation. Likewise, Harvard lost talented quarterback Chris Pizzotti, who worked out in New York Jets training camp for a number of weeks, to graduation. Columbia improved from its 0-10 finish in 2007 to a 2-5 Ivy record in 2008, including a win over Cornell in New York. The two are tied for sixth in the preseason media poll this year. Penn’s only Ivy losses were to Brown and Harvard last year, and the Quakers return junior back Mike DiMaggio, who racked up 65 yards per game.
