Restic, too, looked ahead, to days when the only rout(e) will be made of cement and tar and will have signposts pointing to Brown, Holy Cross and Yale.
From now on, the Crimson's opponents are better. Their quarterbacks can throw longer and straighter.
It gets harder from here on in, boys.
"If you can throw the ball long, that's a tremendous weapon," said Restic, referring to Dartmouth QB Chris Rorke, whose sawed-off shotgun accounted for 176 yards in the air. "We have to be able to handle that part of the game down the stretch."
"We have some good passers coming up," Restic warned. "Princeton's a test next week, and we're looking at Brown, Holy Cross and Yale. We just have to saddle up and handle that part of the game."
Harvard may worry about opposing QBs, but teams around the league are trembling at the prospect of facing Yohe, who threw for 237 yards--his fourth straight 200-plus day--and three touchdowns Saturday, picking up Ivy League Player of the Week honors along the way.
Last year, Yohe, then a sophomore, got his first varsity start against Dartmouth and led the Crimson to a 42-26 victory. He won Ivy laurels then, too.
Let's just say Yohe likes Green.
"I'm getting the hang of calling the right plays in the right situations," said Yohe, who is now four touchdown passes shy of Harvard's season TD record.
Yohe was not alone in his glory. When you score 42 points, everyone has a finger--or a fist--in the pie.
Hinz ran for 152 yards and two touchdowns. Caprio picked off two Dartmouth passes.
Even the tight ends, usually quieter figures in Harvard's Multiflex offense, got into the action. Kent Lucas caught three passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Backup Don Gajewski caught four for 72 yards.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Restic cleared his bench, sending in substitutes to mop up the rout.
Teevens and company could only watch, frustrated, Green with envy.
