Eli star wideout Eric Johnson "caught" a four-yard pass from Walland for the touchdown with 29 seconds left to put Yale up by the final 24-21 margin.
Walland threw the ball low, at the "A" of the painted "YALE" in the end zone. Johnson got both hands on the ball and pulled it in before falling on it.
The zebras ruled the play a touchdown.
"Maybe I'm looking at it through rose-colored glasses, but I thought the ball hit the ground," Harvard Coach Tim Murphy said.
But Johnson, with a smirk on his face and a knowing look in his eye, said otherwise.
"I caught it," Johnson said. "I caught that ball."
Yale Coach Jack Siedlecki agreed.
"He's got the greatest hands of any receiver I've ever coached," Siedlecki said. "That was an amazing catch."
