Jake Novak at Roar Lions Roar giveth and taketh away in his posting on top returning defensive lines in the Ivy League. He includes a photo of senior Charles Bay with the caption: Charles Bay may be the best DE in the Ivies, but he needs help.

Jake writes:

The bad news is that defensive line, while it improved at times last year, was not what you could call very effective over the course of the season.

And:
