"You just can't ask for more than that," Restic said. "The defense played pretty darn well."

Harvard also came up with clutch turnovers. With Pennsylvania on the Harvard 3-yard line and a 7-0 lead, Quaker quarterback Jim McGeehan faked a handoff to senior tailback Sundaita Rush and bootlegged to his left, looking to throw.

The linebackers followed Rush into the line, leaving McGeehan with more time to throw than it took Mario Cuomo to decide not to run for President. McGeehan could have taken it in himself, but he decided to toss the ball to a seemingly wide-open Mike Baker in the end zone.

But (and it was a great play) senior cornerback Rob Sonne stepped in front of Baker at the last moment and rumbled 67 yards the other way before Stokes caught him at the Penn 33.

Senior linebacker Monte Giese notched the second interception of the day and his second interception of the season when he leaped and tipped a McGeehan pass behind the line of scrimmage, then caught his own deflection.

No yards on the return, but that was hardly the point.

Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week honors went to Columbia quarterback Chad Andrzejewski--for completing 33 of 49 passes for 294 yards and a TD in the Lions' stunning 35-30 upset of Cornell--and to Cornell quarterback Bill Lazor, who completed 37 of 59 passes for 409 yards and four touchdowns.

Defensive Player of the Week went to Columbia linebacker Des "Boom Boom" Werthman for the second week in a row. Werthman recorded 16 tackles (12 solo), recovered a fumble and returned a blocked punt 24 yards.

Werthman also rushed 15 times for 29 yards and two touchdowns kicked two extra-points and caught a two-point conversion pass.
