Rose--who threw two interceptions in this game, one that was returned for a touchdown--had to thread his touchdown pass between three Mountain Hawk defenders who missed tackling Taylor as soon as he touched the ball.
For most of the game, the Lehigh defenders did make their open field tackles. Harvard's receivers had very few yards after the catch in this game, something that had been the source of much of the Crimson's offensive production thus far this season.
After the Crimson touchdown, Lehigh reeled off 21 unanswered points over the second quarter and the first part of the third.
Lehigh completely dominated the second quarter, gaining 169 yards on 27 plays and holding Harvard to just 52 yards on 23 plays.
Hall passed for 137 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter alone.
Lehigh's first drive started at the Harvard 42-yard line thanks to a long kickoff return by junior kick returner Abdul Byron.
After an incompletion on first down, Hall found Endler at Harvard's 23-yard line for a first down. Lehigh then spread the field with five receivers and Hall threw to freshman wideout Stephen Hluschak for a 4-yard gain.
