...that was it. Five minutes out of 60 when the Harvard football team meshed as completely as the dreams of the most partisan fan. It was a taste of invincibility for those who have believed all along in the deceptive talent of this squad. It was the 285 seconds that at first evoked hope, then despair as the rest of the game failed to do it justice...
