At 8:04 of the fourth quarter, Yohe pump faked the entire UMass defense and found Hinz for the final score of the game. A lesser quarterback might not have been able to mount a comeback so quickly with his team down by 24 points.

"We have a team that never gives up," Yohe said. "We're going to keep going until the last second ticks off the clock."

The seconds ticked and the duel contiuned. Yet like any other duel, there could only be one winner. On Saturday afternoon, Palazzi was the one who won.

"[Palazzi] takes the pressure off their running game," Harvard Coach Joe Restic said. "He had a great game."

Yohe, the Crimson's three-year varisty veteran, knows duels can last only for an afternoon. There will be another duel next weekend, a duel he could win. For Yohe, Saturday's game was only round two of a 10-round season. And Yohe knows how to duel. He'll win his share of them this year.

Maybe he'll have a couple of extra sevens tucked under his jersey. Just in case.
