NEW YORK--In the middle of the first quarter on Saturday, senior cornerback Kane Waller dove into a Fordham Ram to make a tackle.
He wound up with a sharp Ram's horn deep in his thigh.
Actually, it was more like a cleated foot, but it did about as much damage as a horn would have done.
Waller played with the pain through the rest of the first half, but when he showed it to the Harvard trainers at halftime, he was told to rest for the second half, according to his teammates.
It seemed like an all-right plan at the time--Harvard did, after all, lead 34-3. To even the most casual observers, the Crimson (3-2, 1-1 Ivy) seemed well on its way to emasculating the hapless Rams in a second-half romp.
But all those Fordham fans who left early to catch the start of the Yankees-Red Sox Game Three missed quite a football game.
Fordham quarterback Matt Georgia finally decided to act like a quarterback, and running back Al Lundy remembered how to gain positive yardage.
They appeared to catch the Crimson defense completely off-guard.
