Harvard knows better than to sleep on Merrimack. The last time they met the Crimson barely survived. Dartmouth needed a fg at the end to beat Merrimack last year. They will be the best test Harvard has faced so far.

If Harvard doesn't handle Cornell and Merrimack, then we'll know that there is limited upside.

Cornell is 0-3, but was even with Yale (14-14) at the half.

Merrimack is 3-3. Just looking at stats, it looks like Merrimack has a stout running attack, averaging 175 yards/game. On the other hand, Merrimack's quarterbacks complete <50% of their passes for about 150 yards/game and 4 INT's.

Time of Possession is about 35 to 25 for each of Merrimack and Harvard. Harvard's ball control is likely due to sitting on leads in the second halves. Merrimacks seems to be due to it's reliance on it's running attack: 244 rushes vs 155 passes.
