Let's return to the Ivy schedule now. At least Harvard is still in first place.
October 14: Okay, let's not return to Ivy play.
In front of a capacity Homecoming crowd in Ithaca, N.Y., Cornell plays a flawless game, blanking the Crimson, 28-0.
Harvard collects only 193 yards of total offense. Perry is picked off four times.
Cornell's All-America linebacker, Mitch Lee, plays like Dick Butkus. Big Red running back John McNiff (130 yards, two touchdowns) thinks he's Walter Payton. The Crimson just think of going back home.
October 21: Not the highest-scoring game of the century, but perhaps the most emotional league game for the Crimson this season.
With rival Dartmouth in town for Head of the Charles weekend, the Crimson edge out the Green, 6-5, on Brian Kotz's last-minute field goal.
But the game's highlight is a four-play, goal-line stand by the Crimson that thwarts a Big Green touchdown threat.
October 28: Final Score: Judd Garrett 28, Harvard 14.
Garrett's two-touchdown, 148-yd. performance and 70-yd. scoring strike to Scott Gibbs on Princeton's first play from scrimmage propel the Tigers to victory at the Stadium.
Harvard almost makes it close late in the first half, but Myers' fumble near the goal line ends any thoughts for a Harvard comeback.
November 4: Restic captures his 100th career win as Harvard defeats Brown, 27-14, in Providence, R.I.
Perry and Mark Bianchi lead the Crimson offense. The quarterback rushes for 68 yards and frustrates the Brown defense. The senior wide receiver adds 42 yards on the ground, including a 19-yd. touchdown on a reverse.
The Crimson secondary, led by safety Jim Smith, shuts down the Bruin offense at a crucial time in the fourth quarter.
November 11: The Harvard resurgence continues with a 24-15 victory over Penn at the Stadium. With the victory, the Crimson clinches third place in the Ivy standings.
The Harvard offense, led by Reidy's 118 yards and two touchdowns, churns out 348 rushing yards. Perry has to throw only seven passes. The Quakers quake.
Only The Game remains.
