...frame and trailed nearly the whole game thanks to its four turnovers. Despite connecting consistently with his sophomore receivers all night, senior hurler Chris Pizzotti drastically underthrew balls in the first and third quarters, which Crusaders Michael Wright and Daryl Brown picked off with ease. The interceptions gave Holy Cross short fields to work with, starting at the Harvard 18 and 29, respectively. “We had four turnovers tonight that really just were uncalled for,” Pizzotti said. “They weren’t really forcing us to do anything, it was just throwing...
With a crimson-colored harvest moon rising behind the Eliot Bell Tower Friday night, Harvard football rallied with three fourth quarter touchdowns to trump Holy Cross, 25-24, in front of 20,462 fans at Harvard Stadium. Despite tepid offense to start the Crimson’s second annual night game, the defense kept the squad poised for the fourth quarter comeback. “Our defensive coordinator, Coach Doherty, he challenged us a lot in practice, and the coaching staff did a great job of putting us in the right position,” said Harvard captain and defensive...

But rather than sitting back and feeling proud about a fun evening...
What a difference a year makes. Last season, it was Holy Cross that scored a dramatic fourth quarter touchdown to take a victory in the opening contest, connecting on a 40-yard touchdown pass with 19 seconds remaining to down the Crimson in Worchester. But this year, the roles were reversed, as Harvard overcame four turnovers to score 19 fourth quarter points and win the game. That reversal matched a more general change between the two contests, as the Crimson’s defense played decidedly better in a season-opening victory. “To have what happened last...
