With Schwieger graduating The Sports Network faced a quandary picking the "Top Running Back" in the Ivy League as part of a story headlined, Ten FCS running backs to watch. Should it pick Princeton's Chuck Dibilio, who galloped for 1,068 yards last year and gave Schwieger (1,310) a run for the Ivy rushing title?

Consideration probably also went to Penn's Brandon Colavita (73.9 ypg), Brown's Mark Kachmer (63.2 ypg) and Yale's Mordecai Cargill (53.0 ypg), who put up good numbers despite being the Bulldogs' second tailback option last fall.
