In last night's Green Alert Premium, coach Buddy Teevens explained why, with great regret, he made the decision to cancel the traditional junior varsity game against Harvard.

The New Haven Register's blog notes that a junior wide receiver who was recruited as a quarterback could be pressed into service if need be.
