BEST CONVERSION RATIO

Harvard’s defense forced five turnovers Saturday. Three of them produced scores; a fourth, Garcia’s interception, clinched the win.

BIGGEST ROLE REVERSAL

From hero to culprit, by Princeton cornerback Jay McCareins. McCareins had ended three potential game-winning drives in the last two games with an interception. On Saturday, he aided and abetted Harvard’s game-winning drive, getting flagged for pass interference on a throw to senior WR Carl Morris. The penalty set Harvard up on the Princeton 2. The Crimson scored two plays later.

MOST BLACK AND BLUE AFTER MEETING THE CRIMSON
