After a two-yard carry by senior running back Chris Menick, Wilford hit freshman wide receiver Carl Morris for seven yards. That set up an 11-yard Menick scoring run, the Crimson's only touchdown of the game.

In Perry's next drive, the Bears set up in a five-receiver set, hoping to take advantage of Perry's arm and quick decision-making.

"We've done that quite a bit," Brown Coach Phil Estes said. "We decided at halftime that there were some holes out there that we could take advantage of."

But Perry stuck primarily with his two main targets, freshman Chas Gessner and junior Stephen Campbell, hitting Gessner twice and Campbell thrice to march the Bears down the field from the Brown 24 to the Harvard 42.

"It's frustrating," said Harvard senior defensive end Mike Sands. "He's got a quick release. He does a great job for them."

But the Crimson defense stifled Perry on four plays, forcing a turnover on downs.

After a Crimson three-and-out, Perry got the ball again on his own 31. He then started a march down the field that ended up tying the game at 10-10.

He threw to Campbell for 19 yards to midfield, but it was called back on a false start penalty. Following an incompletion, he hit junior wideout Billy Rackley for 14 yards. After two 6-yard passes to Gessner to put Brown at the Harvard 48, he hit Campbell, Gessner and Campbell again for gains of 13, 12 and 12 yards, respectively. That set up the Brown offense at the 11-yard line, and sophomore running back Mike Malan punched the ball in on two runs.
