After managing no more than 21 yards receiving in any of his first six games, Fried already had racked up 63 yards in the first quarter.

He added a touchdown catch in the second quarter, which gave the Crimson a 28-14 lead at the time.

For all his brilliance, it was the 50-yard reception of Morris, immediately following a Dartmouth turnover, that really broke the game open for the Crimson.

Morris, who had been relatively silent since his 4 reception, 89-yard performance against Columbia on opening week, made the most spectacular play of the game.

"It was a fake option play," Morris said. "[Dartmouth] had double coverage on me. They had chosen a good defense to cover that play."

Wilford, narrowly avoiding a sack, heaved the ball downfield in Morris's direction. Somehow, Morris managed to outrun the double coverage and catch the pass, before being taken down at the 3-yard line.

"It was a great pass by Wilford," Morris said. "And I was just barely able to get to it."

Wilford gave most of the credit for his record to catches like the one made by Morris.
