The lack of scoring may have been slightly affected by external factors. Forceful winds plagued the Crimson during the first half of play, frequently sending the ball off course, and the general nature of the rival matchup aggravated aggressive tendencies. “It wasn’t the best performance, but it was the Harvard-Yale game, so it’s always going to be scrappy and rough,” Akpan said.
