The offensive line also played well against the Crusaders. The line was able to consistently open holes and protect the quarterbacks when they didn't hold on to the ball too long.
On defense, the Crimson had a generally good day. Although the Crimson gave up a few big plays, it also kept Harvard in the game. Kern played a stellar game for the Crimson at defensive tackle and although the linebacking corps was young, starting two true freshmen, it also played well.
"The reason we didn't have better opportunity to win this game was ball security," Murphy said. "Take away the ball security issue, and the fundamentals were pretty solid."
