Best reward for staying low to the ground:

A trifecta of touchdowns in the Lehigh-Harvard game. Harvard tailback Nick Palazzo, all 5’5 of him, found the end zone three times Saturday, as did his Lehigh counterpart, Jermaine Pugh—also 5’5.

Best follow-up role for a former child actor:

As a special teamer on the Harvard football team. Sophomore Gary Sonkur, a defensive backup, got a new job Saturday as one of the Crimson’s kick returners. It was Sonkur’s highest-profile role since, as a young child, he was an action double in the kids’ movie “Little Giants.”

Worst-timed bid for individual glory:

By Harvard junior cornerback Chris Raftery, who attempted to pick up a loose ball in the fourth quarter rather than diving on it. Teammate Brian Garcia had just caused Pugh to fumble, but instead of diving on the ball to cover it up, Raftery tried to scoop it. He lost the handle and Lehigh recovered. The Mountain Hawks eventually hit a key field goal.

Worst interpretation of the concept of “forward momentum”:

By the officials. On a critical fourth-and-inches play late in the game, Harvard’s offensive line surged forward by a yard while Palazzo fell into them. The refs, however, spotted the ball at the previous line of scrimmage, giving Lehigh the ball on downs.
