...head coach Tim Murphy said, “and we seemed to gain some momentum from there.”Harvard’s defense was not about to allow that momentum to slip away. Dartmouth moved the ball effectively on its first drive before senior defensive tackle Michael Berg forced a fumble by Big Green wide receiver Ryan Fuselier. Harvard junior safety Danny Tanner recovered the loose ball.It was the first of six turnovers by Dartmouth on the day, the most that Harvard has forced this season. The Crimson defense allowed just 183 yards, 86 of them...
...about more than just performing: the defense had to dominate. Harvard responded by posting its first shutout of the season, and first since a 38-0 whipping of Columbia in 2004. “Every week, that’s our goal,” senior defensive tackle Mike Berg said. “Up to this point, we really haven’t been able to put the nail in the coffin and close people out.

Because, she thinks, he went in and confessed to the church and was granted absolution, which doesn't encourage one "to really punish yourself." In a way, that's also true of the visibly squirming Roger Cardinal Mahony, shown in a videotaped deposition as he tries to defend himself (and his church's wealth and power) from the scandal. Whether or not legal consequences derive from it, that footage alone makes Deliver Us from Evil...
