...this soggy disaster, the Crimson's three top quarterbacks would be out with injuries--just like last year. In addition to Brian Buckley, the firststringer racked up in the Army game, Mike Buchanan sprained a right ankle Saturday and Ron Cuccia pulled a right hamstring...

And on this fourth possession, he threw a wobbly effort intended for Cuccia over the middle that cornerback Kevin Thorne picked off and ran back to the Harvard...
