Tran-spotting: Now Playing, The Harvard Crimson

The Harvard defense held the Big Green scoreless for the final 29:31 of the game. Harvard finally utilized all its offensive weapons and displayed a dynamic offense that is as good on the ground as it is on the air. With seniors Menick, Patterson, and Wilford obliterating individual career records during the game, the Harvard offense broke the record for total yards in a game, gaining 640 yards on the day.

The new Harvard football team has sent a message loud and clear to the rest of the Ivy League--it has gotten rid of its past demons and is ready to contend for the Ivy crown. The wealth of talent on this team has finally come together in a masterpiece of experience and

eagerness that Murphy has skillfully molded into an Ivy front-runner.
