While Harvard had difficulty passing all day, regardless of wind conditions, Princeton's aerial attack heavily depended upon having the wind. Throwing against the wind in the first quarter, sophomore quarterback Tommy Crenshaw netted 27 yards, the following quarter the gusts helped him rack up 92 yards.
The place kickers, however, received the most help with the wind. Princeton sophomore Taylor Northrop also connected on a career best, a 52-yard rocket that effortlessly cleared the uprights.
The field goal tied the score at 6-6 with just 3:34 remaining in the game.
"With a 30 mph wind at his back, in terms of distance it was like kicking a 35-yard field goal," Murphy said. "He still had to gauge it from right-to-left, but in terms of distance he could've hit it from 60."
Menick Manhandles Tigers
Senior running back Chris Menick shouldered most of the offensive load, rushing 27 times for a season-high 165 yards. The Tiger defense, known for its toughness against the rush, consistently needed two or three tacklers to bring Menick down.
Menick averaged 6.1 yards per carry and netted 12 or more yards five times during the game.
