McGINN AND TONIC: Crimson Ready To Be Champions

Harvard's survival shows it has the poise to bring home the Ivy title this year

A year ago, he’d have made it out of bounds.

This time, Ryan Tully was there.

The sophomore safety wrestled Little to the ground, yanking him safely inbounds with just seven seconds on the clock. Shula didn’t have the wherewithal to rush to the line to spike the next snap. Triple-zero flashed on the scoreboard as the ball hit the ground.

Game over.

“There are no style points in football,” Murphy said. “We were fortunate to get the win.” Fortunate or not, the Crimson did. And when Harvard is the undefeated Ivy League champion three weeks from now, that’s all that will matter.
