FINAL SCORE: HARVARD 10, YALE 0

10,000 men of Harvard gained victory today.

1:06, 4th quarter: Pizzotti scrambles to the 25, and it's a first down. Pizzotti will kneel out the clock on a 9-1, Ivy Championship season.

1:10, 4th quarter: the Crimson takes a timeout after letting the clock run all the way down, and it looks like Harvard will run it out.

2:02, 4th quarter: ERIC SCHULTZ HAMMERS HART FROM BEHIND AS HE DROPS BACK, CAUSING A FUMBLE THAT'S RECOVERED BY CARL EHRLICH AT THE YALE 13. A huge play by the Crimson's defense at a key moment.

2:07, 4th quarter: Yale tight end John Sheffield gets lit up by Zych and drops the pass, 2nd and goal for the Bulldogs.

2:11, 4th quarter: it looks like great coverage from Berry, but the officials call pass interference on Berry and it's 1st-and-goal from the 2.

2:16, 4th quarter: Hart in the shotgun, and there's a false start on the Bulldogs. It'll bring up 4th-and-goal from the 8, and they're going to go for it.

2:35, 4th quarter: a short run by Hart and a 2-yard completion brings up 3rd-and-goal from the 4. Hart drops back to pass, and Collin Zych breaks it up. It's 4th-and-goal for the Bulldogs, and Yale is going for it.

3:20, 4th quarter: GIO CHRISTODOULOU RETURNS THE PUNT TO THE CRIMSON 8, and Yale is in prime position. A major special teams breakdown by the Crimson there.

4:14, 4th quarter: a delay of game, then a false start for the Crimson, and it's 2nd-and-15 at the 19.

5:49, 4th quarter: Gordon breaks a tackle in the backfield and scampers to the 24 while staying in bounds.

6:57, 4th quarter: after a measurement, it's a first down for the Crimson after a short run by Gordon.

7:30, 4th quarter: a Pizzotti sneak and a Gordon run bring up 3rd-and-2 at the 9 with the clock running.

8:33, 4th quarter: Mante's punt rolls down at the 1, and Harvard will start there needing to chew some clock.

9:24, 4th quarter: Glenn Dorris blows through the attempted block on 3rd-and-2 to drop McLeod for a 3-yard loss and bring up a 4th down.

10:29, 4th quarter: it's another terrible punt by Hull, possibly tipped by the Yale rush. 21 yards on the punt, and Yale takes over at the Crimson's 47.

11:00, 4th quarter: an incomplete screen pass and two runs by Gordon means a three-and-out for the Crimson, and it appears Harvard will let the clock run down before punting it away.

12:06, 4th quarter: Berry fair catches the punt at the 18, and that's where the Crimson will start.

12:13, 4th quarter: an incomplete deep ball on 3rd-and-12 from Hart, and an offensive pass interference call is declined to bring up fourth down.

13:20, 4th quarter: Conor Murphy hammers Hart for a sack back at the 35. It's a 10-yard loss, and Hart never saw Murphy coming from the back side.

13:32, 4th quarter: Long line-drives the kickoff to Christodoulou, but the shorter kick gives Yale the ball at the 45 after a solid return.

13:39, 4th quarter: Yale mustered just 14 yards of offense in the third quarter, and has just 94 yards on 29 plays on the game. A phenomenal effort from the Crimson's defense thus far.

13:39, 4th quarter: Gordon breaks free to the 7, Patrick Long makes his first field goal of the afternoon from 24 yards out, and it's HARVARD 10, YALE 0.

14:22, 4th quarter: a disastrous play for Harvard, as Pizzotti gets drilled and throws it out of bounds wildly. He gets called for grounding, and it's 3rd-and-goal from the 17.
