Both interceptions came late in the fourth quarter after the game was already decided, and all three fumbles came in the first quarter, so please don't blame the loss on fumbles.
After three Crimson fumbles, Lehigh lead by just four points, 10-6, with six minutes remaining in the second quarter.

After back-to-back Crimson pass rushes forced Lehigh quarterback Brant Hall to throw the ball away on first and second down, Lehigh faced third-and-10 at the Harvard 20.
On the ensuing play, freshman linebacker Dante Balestracci broke through the line and had the quarterback within arm's reach.
