...overtime, Harvard went to its bread-and-butter: Menick and the running game. After Holy Cross failed to score, the Crimson offense trotted out to the 25-yard-line and put the football--and the game--in Menick's hands. The 5'10, 185-pound back took a pitchout on the left side for two yards. On second down, he sprinted to the right for seven yards.
