Eitzmann caught a 46-yard pass against Columbia, and he was a critical part of the touchdown that got Harvard's offense back in rhythm on Saturday.
Down 14-3, the Crimson turned to Eitzmann for 14 yards on first down and again for 24 yards a play later. Eitzmann's two receptions counted for 38 of Harvard's 42 yards on the scoring drive, and Eitzmann then caught the two-point conversion that pulled Harvard within three.
"He has good initial quickness, and his patterns are pretty good," said George Lynch, a New York Giants scout at the Columbia game. "He can get some separation and get open, he's got good hands and good upfield lean. He also has good speed for a tight end. If he bulks up, he could be drafted. He has good blocking technique and is willing."
Waller Intercepts Two
On the first play from scrimmage, the Harvard corners showed great discipline as Holy Cross called a flea-flicker. Collar handed off to the running back, received the pitch back, and threw downfield. Both Waller and sophomore Willie Alford stayed with their men, and Waller went up in the air and took the ball away from the Crusaders' Hall.
Waller's second interception came on another bomb attempt, this time to Michael Coleman. Just when it seemed he wouldn't turn around in time, Waller did and made the play at the Harvard 39-yard line.
