Specializing in the slant and the square-in route, Taylor did an excellent job of finding holes in the middle of Columbia's zone.

As he has all season, Taylor paid for his catches by taking vicious hits from the Columbia safeties as soon as he caught the ball. But, as he has all season, Taylor continued to run his routes. On the last play of the drive, he caught a 29-yard pass on a flag route to the corner of the end zone for a touchdown.

Though Rose's touchdown strike to Taylor was a perfect pass, it seemed that Rose, at least yesterday, had trouble throwing the deep ball.

On Harvard's third drive, Rose saw sophomore wide receiver Kyle Cremarosa break open on a post route, but Rose both released the ball late and floated the pass. Murray, who was dropping into a deep zone, got a good break on the ball and picked it off.

On the next drive, Rose dropped to pass on Harvard's 40-yard line and spotted Morris downfield.

But once again, Rose threw the ball late, lofting the pass. Murray intercepted it at Columbia's 25-yard line.

Time Management Skills

Up 24-0 at the halftime, the Crimson came out throwing in the second half. Though Columbia was unable to mount much of an offensive effort against the stifling Harvard defense, the decision to throw the ball to start the half was unorthodox.
