Harvard went on to add two more touchdowns to seal the victory, the team’s sixth of the year.

Fischer also played a crucial role as the Crimson pulled away from Princeton in the fourth quarter.

The senior hauled in a 27-yard throw from Hosch on a crucial 3rd down, and later picked up a 31-yard grab to put Harvard into the red zone.

With the Crimson offense operating on all cylinders once again after a shaky first quarter, Fischer was able to exploit the holes in Princeton’s defense.

The wide receiver was one of Hosch’s primary weapons against the Tigers on Saturday, and he was a crucial component of many of Harvard’s drives.

Fischer was quick to credit the rest of the team for yet another explosive offensive performance.

“When the defense has to respect [senior running back] Paul Stanton Jr. and [senior wide receiver] Seitu Smith out of the backfield, it really opens up the pass game,” Fischer said. “And Scott Hosch delivering pretty incredible balls—it really makes my job easy.”

“I think the biggest thing is just overall the offensive effort,” the senior added. “It starts with the play-calling, the great effort by the offensive line.”

Versatility is key for the Crimson, and Fischer’s return for the Princeton game allowed the team to have even more flexibility on offense.

“[Smith] was a slash player in high school, he was a great running back, he was a great receiver,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said.

“Fisch was a very similar type player. We’re always trying to find those guys because of versatility—it’s like having a tight end or an H-back who play multiple positions,” Murphy added.

Fischer’s return to action also bolstered Harvard’s kickoff and punt returning game.

The senior brought back two kicks for 16 yards and four punts for 48 yards against Princeton.

In the three games before his injury, Fischer had amassed 126 total yards on 12 receptions.

He more than doubled that number in Saturday’s game with 190 yards. So far this season, Fischer has recorded a career-high 14.4 yards per reception.
