This weekend's Harvard football game seemed to have something for everyone.
A quarterback making his first-ever collegiate start goes 12-of-22, passes for 190 yards and leads his team to victory.
A veteran linebacker makes 14 tackles, blocks two passes, recovers a fumble and intercepts a pass while breaking the career tackle record and securing a spot among the all-time greats.
And an electrifying tailback seeing his first regular action in nearly two seasons breaks for a pair of touchdowns and amasses 84 yards on just 10 carries.
But as well as Brad Wilford, Isaiah Kacyvenski and Troy Jones played, the Harvard-Columbia contest was not even the most exciting game in the league this weekend. The following is a quick look at all the games on the Ivy League's opening Saturday.
Brown 25, Yale 24
Brown quarterback James Perry, Ivy League offensive player of the week, led the Bears on two Joe Montana-esque drives to secure the come-from-behind victory.
Late in the third quarter, Yale quarterback Joe Walland (12-for-22, 182 yards, 1 TD) threw for a touchdown that seemed to put the game out of reach for the Bears.
Yale's lead seemed insurmountable until Perry took the ball at his own 20-yard line with 7:23 left. He completed 6-of-9 passes on the ensuing drive, capping it off with a 17-yard TD pass to Steve Campbell.
