...showed what they were made of, as each played a major part of several significant drives down the field. With 13:43 remaining in the game, Pizzotti hit Iannuzzi with a 68-yard touchdown pass, the longest pass of the night for Pizzotti—and ostensibly the momentum-changer that sparked the Crimson comeback—earning Iannuzzi a spot on the weekly Ivy League Honor Roll.

The shameless populism that seemed a possible game changer to media observers, micro-ideas like the gas-tax holiday, the willingness to go negative - which Obama tried intermittently, in halfhearted reaction to Clinton's attacks - appeared very old and clichéd to Obama's legion of young supporters, who were the real game changers in this year of extraordinary turnouts.
