The Bruins have scored only one touchdown on offense in the last four weeks. Those seven points came in a 35-14 loss to Holy Cross last week in Providence, R.I.
The Harvard defense did play a part in Brown's inability to move the ball. By the middle of the game, the Crimson secondary had read the book on Rukamp and had it memorized. Tighter pass coverage led to no more big plays from the Bruin offense.
A tougher defense also led to a sigh of relief from Restic, who has seen his share of big plays from the opposing side of the field this year.
The Bruins enter the last three weeks of the season with an offense that could turn them into the Ivy's next version of the Columbia Lions.
What can Brown do?
"The toughest thing to come back from a game like this is to find the will to prepare to win the next game," Rosenberg said. "If you roll over, it will be a field day for the opposing team."
Perhaps Brown's true colors haven't surfaced yet.
