...three punt returns for touchdowns without returning one of its own—in fact, Harvard hasn’t returned a punt for touchdown since 2004, when Brian Edwards ’05 took one back against Yale.Instead, we’ve been treated to a series of gaffes??missed extra points, fumbled returns, a snap over the punter’s head, a blocked punt against Lehigh (the Crimson actually blocked one in the same game), and a punt return TD—all within the first eight games.
