ITHACA, N.Y. -- After beating Yale in New Haven two weeks ago for the first time since 2009, the Cornell football team will attempt to snap another road losing streak this week. Cornell faces Harvard on Friday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. at Harvard Stadium, where the Big Red hasn't won since 2000. The Crimson have been historically tough at home under head coach Tim Murphy, who owns a 78-19 record at Harvard Stadium since 2001, and an 18-3 mark in home night games since 2007. No Ivy League team has more wins in home night games.
 

A look at Harvard: 

• Harvard, ranked 19th in the FCS, improved to 3-0 on Saturday with a 38-28 victory over Holy Cross, which fell from No. 5 to No. 12 in this week's poll. 
• Harvard leads the Ivy League in scoring (39 points per game), rushing yards (241.7 per game) and rushing touchdowns (8) through three weeks. 
• Junior running Shane McLaughlin (330 yards) and junior quarterback Charles DePrima (300 yards) lead the Crimson's rushing attack. McLaughlin has three touchdowns; DePrima has two. 
• DePrima has thrown for 446 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions. 
• Senior tight end Tyler Neville, a first-team All-Ivy League performer last season, has caught eight passes for 123 yards and two scores. Sophomore wide receiver Cooper Barkate has 16 receptions for 232 yards and two touchdowns. 
• Harvard leads the league in total interceptions (5) and interceptions returned for touchdowns (2). The Crimson snagged three of those picks against Holy Cross. 
• Safety Ty Bartrum has a team-leading two interceptions. The sophomore also leads the Crimson with 24 tackles. 
• Senior defensive lineman Thor Griffith, named to the Reese's Senior Bowl watch list before the season, has two tackles for a loss and 1.5 sacks. He finished second on the Crimson in those categories en route to first-team All-Ivy League recognition last season. 
• Xaviah Bascon has returned five kicks for 193 yards, the most in the Ivy League. 
• Cali Canaval is 2 of 3 on field goals, with both makes coming from at least 40 yards out. His longest make came from 43 against St. Thomas.
