Crimson Secondary Suffers Without Waller

He was 20-of-34 for 234 yards and three touchdowns in the second stanza, hooking up with Creer for six catches, 85 yards, and a touchdown.

Verdini, Miree and Alford also had their struggles with Fordham's closest thing to a star receiver--Gerry McDermott, who avenged a weak first half with seven catches for 101 yards in the second half.

With the Fordham passing attack cooking, the Harvard defense was spread too thin to contain Lundy, who ran for 70 yards on 17 carries in the second half.

And as result, Harvard found itself mired in a football game when it should have had a snoozer.

"We were very disgusted with ourselves," Alford said. "It was the worst way to win a game. We weren't very happy with our play."

The real problem seemed to be that Fordham brought too much emotion for Harvard to handle.

As the Crimson quickly notched 21 points in the first quarter, the Fordham bench was in shambles. Players stood in scattered clumps, helmets in hand, and even the coaching staff paced the sidelines with their heads hung low.

"Here we go again," the now 0-6 Rams seemed to be saying.
