Harvard’s Late Comeback Decides The Game, 14-10

Crimson Scores Twice in Final 6:46 for Win
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Harvard quarterback Collier
Winters' 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Lorditch with
1:32 remaining capped a late comeback for Harvard and gave the Crimson
a 14-10 win in the 126th edition of The Game Saturday
afternoon at the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field. The Crimson scored
twice in the final 6:46 after being kept off the scoreboard on their
first seven drives of The Game by the Yale defense, including a
goal-line stand by the Bulldogs in the third quarter.
The game-winning touchdown came three plays after the Bulldogs
attempted to catch Harvard off-guard by running a fake punt on
fourth-and-22 from the Yale 25. Senior linebacker Paul Rice, who had
been a part of two successful runs on fake punts earlier in the
season, took the snap from center and pitched it to freshman safety
John Powers, who took off down the left sideline. But Harvard
defensive back Anthony Spadafino upended Powers seven yards shy of the
first down.
