"We wanted to go out and be aggressive and not go into a shell," Coach Murphy said. "We're a pass team first, we set up the run with the pass."

Harvard's first three possessions of the second half ended in turnovers. On the first drive, Rose threw a pass underneath that was picked off, again by Murray, who was playing close to the line of scrimmage as a cornerback.

Harvard's next possession ended after a fumbled snap in which it seemed that Rose pulled out of his stance a split-second too soon.

The third drive of the second half ended when Rose completed a long pass to Morris, who was immediately drilled by three Columbia defenders.

As a result of the contact, Morris fumbled the ball away.

The times taken off of the clock on those drives were :44, 1:02 and 1:51 respectively for a total of 3:37 minutes. So, out of the first 11:20 seconds of the second half, which was the time elapsed when Morris fumbled, the Crimson offense really controlled the ball for a total of 3:37.

Of the nine offensive plays that Harvard ran in those three drives, six were passing plays and three were designed running plays. Had the Crimson run the ball effectively in the third quarter, Columbia's offense would have had no chance to get back in the game.
