...first half was all Harvard, the third quarter a standoff and the final period a death spiral for the tiring Crimson. After an opening 30 minutes of intermittent success in which Jim Kubacki put two touchdowns on the board, the Harvard offense slowed to a crawl with nothing but a Mike Lynch 28-yard field goal in the third quarter, and came to a dead stop in the fourth...
