Pleasant lost two yards on the next play as he tried to run up the middle, but was stopped in the backfield by Scherrer.
On third-and-8, Hall found Endler on a slant route at the Harvard 9-yard line.
On first and goal at the nine, Lehigh lined up in a pro set--two running backs in the I formation and two wide receivers--and gave the ball to Pleasant on a sweep. Good blocking by the Mountain Hawk receivers and pulling guards sealed the corner and allowed Pleasant to dive into the end zone putting Lehigh up 31-6.
In the middle of the third quarter, the Harvard offense finally came alive and put together a 13-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. Highlighting the drive were a 14-yard pass to sophomore wide receiver Sean Meeker, a 15-yard strike to junior wideout Dan Farley and a wide receiver screen on fourth-and-goal from the four to Morris who took the ball in for the score.
Palazzo gave the Crimson some semblance of balance on this drive by running up the middle for short gains in order to keep Lehigh from completely playing the pass.
By the third quarter, though, the game was out of reach. Lehigh added two more scores in the fourth quarter to finish the game up, 45-13.
Though the Crimson couldn't compete against Lehigh, this game was also the last one on Harvard's non-conference schedule.
Next week, Harvard travels to Princeton for the first game of the H-Y-P series this year. Princeton beat Brown on Saturday, 55-28, to set up a highly anticipated matchup this Saturday.
