Including the last 1:22 of the first quarter, Harvard scored 21 unanswered points to end the half while limiting the Leopard offense to just one first down.
The Crimson offense continued to roll in this game, and it was Rose who made it work. Rose accounted for five touchdowns in the game--two on the ground and three through the air.
Rose was also able to find lots of different receivers in the game.
"We didn't think that we'd see any man coverage because we torched it against Brown," Harvard Coach Tim Murphy said. "But we did see it and we had to adjust our game plan."
Lafayette's man coverage was able to take away both of Harvard's spread receivers, Morris and sophomore Kyle Cremarosa, but it also left inside receivers open. Stakich had two touchdown catches from his tight end spot and 58 yards receiving.
On the ground, Harvard was able to gain 114 yards despite operating with fifth-stringer Palazzo and converted free safety Dan Miree backing him up.
Palazzo gained 101 yards on 23 carries on the day--a 4.4 yard-per-carry average--and scored a touchdown.
