Without Waller, Head Coach Tim Murphy decided to rotate junior Chris Verdini and sophomore Dan Miree at the cornerback position, neither of whom had seen significant action for the Crimson.

For Miree, it wasn't just his first varsity snap in a Harvard uniform. It was his first time at boundary corner--Waller's position.

Before Waller went down, he and sophomore Willie Alford had seen 100 percent of the action at corner this season. So when Miree and Verdini came in to face a rejuvenated Fordham offense, there were some early struggles.

"It's kind of sad that they had to come into that situation when [Fordham] was already throwing the ball a lot," Alford said. "[Fordham was] already into the groove, and they kind of just got thrown into the fire."

Miree will be the first to tell you that he struggled coming off the bench.

"I made some mistakes--which is going to happen, especially being the first time [Verdini and I] were getting a lot of action," he said. "There was some stuff we could've cleaned up technique-wise and done better."

Willing to exploit the green secondary, Georgia and wide receiver Kendal Creer went right after the new guys, and with Waller watching from the sidelines, Georgia led his team back into the football game.
