A Banner Year, But No Banner: Although Harvard posted its worst record since 1950 (when the squad was 1-7), the Crimson did set a few team records and posted several outstanding performances.

Harvard rolled up 3862 yards of total offense, breaking the record of 3740 set in 1982.

Crimson quarterbacks accounted for 2315 yards in the air, snapping the mark set last year (2146).

Harvard advanced for 194 first downs, two short of the record set last year, 196.

For the first time in Harvard history, three different receivers caught more than 30 passes. The trio of Don Gajewski (40 receptions, 533 yards), Tony Hinz (36 recs., 503 yds.) and Neil Phillips (36 recs., 597 yds.) provided 112 receptions for 1633 yards and all nine Crimson touchdowns through the air.

Gajewski's 40 catches are the most ever for a Harvard tight end, and his 10 receptions against Dartmouth is the third-highest number in a game for a Crimson receiver.

Let Him Tee It Up: Kicker Alan Hall's longest field goals, a pair of 47-yarders against Boston University, were five yards shorter than his longest punt (52 yards). His longest field goals were only four yards short of the school record of 51 yards by Tom Wynne in 1967.

Defense! Please: The Harvard defense gave up 272 points this year, only four shy of the school record of 276 established in 1949. Subtract Harvard's two wins (41-7 Columbia and 28-3 over Brown) and the squad allowed 262 points, an average of 32.7 points in each loss.
