Junior Brian Garcia had a safety at Penn, the first from a Harvard player since 1997, while seniors Patrick Lavin and Jesse Brush are solid run-stoppers. Harvard has had great success stopping the run against Ivy opponents all year, including Penn, which rushed for only seven yards on 13 carries in the first half last week.
