Joe Walland began to shake off the tonsillitis symptoms that had caused a 103.1-degree fever Friday night and led two touchdown drives to put the Bulldogs ahead, 17-14.
On the next possession, however, Harvard found its good fortunes again when a Yale 15-yard personal foul penalty gave the Crimson first-and-10 at the Yale 48. A 30-yard strike from freshman running back Brent Chalmers to classmate Kyle Cremarosa on a halfback pass set up an 18-yard touchdown scamper for Jones.
Harvard, sitting on a four-point lead, held Yale to a three-and-out and ran off four minutes of clock time on the Crimson's next possession before punting.
Walland, starting on his own 19, moved the ball to the Harvard 40 before Crimson senior cornerback Kane Waller picked off a pass to the sideline.
At that point, Harvard had the ball with 4:51 on the clock and a four-point lead. A three-and-out was the last thing the Crimson needed and exactly the thing the Crimson got.
Harvard shoulda been the spoiler.
Yale's winning touchdown pass, shouldn't have counted.
