Harvard came back in the second quarter with a 31-yard field goal from Blewett and a 31-yard touchdown run by sophomore Matt Leiszler to make the score 14-10 at the half.

With 12:55 to go in the third quarter, Wahlberg threw an interception that Sinkhorn returned for a touchdown.

On the point after attempt, the ball was snapped badly and senior strong safety returned the ball to give Harvard two points. Brooks is only the second accomplished the feat in Harvard football history. Greg Belsher '92 did it in 1991 against Penn.

Less than two minutes later, senior defensive tackle R.D. Kern sacked sophomore Crusader quarterback Brian Hall who fumbled and gave Harvard the ball on the Holy Cross 18 yard line. Five plays later, Leiszler scored from the six yard line making the score 20-18, which is the way it stayed after Wahlberg's pass was incomplete on the point after attempt.

The running backs took a hit early on in the game when senior tailback Chuck Nwokocha, really the only experienced running back that the Crimson has, went down with a sprained MCL and should be out at least a month.

Luckily for Harvard, sophomore Matt Leiszler was able to come in and give the offense a spark. Leiszler accounted for the only Harvard touchdown of the first half on a 31-yard dash from scrimmage.

Leiszler finished the game with a 6.6 yard per carry average--gaining 60 yards and scoring two touchdowns on only 9 carries.
