Already down 7-0 going to the first drive, it was the Wilford-Fried connection that stuck a fork into the initial Big Green momentum.

On Harvard's first play, Wilford faked a handoff, and waited for his receivers to get open. With the offensive line giving him all the time in the world, he found Fried open 20 yards downfield.

Then on the following play, it was Wilford to Fried again, giving the Crimson a first down on the Dartmouth 31-yard line. Six Menick rushes later, Harvard was in for the game-tying touchdown.

Murphy called this drive Harvard's best execution of the season.

"I really feel like we have got some good athletes there," said Murphy of his receivers. "I was very pleased in particular with the way those guys responded to the challenge."

On Harvard's second drive, after two Menick rushes set up Harvard inside the Dartmouth 20, it was Fried again, as Wilford found him by the sideline, two yards out of the end zone, and Fried crossed the plane to give Harvard the lead.

"Andy Fried today had a breakout game for us," Patterson said.
