...this point, the Crimson offense had begun to gel as passes started to connect and as UMass began to slow down a bit. But Harvard was still unable to keep the pressure on long enough to put the game out of reach, and the Minutemen tied the score at 4-4 just before the half...
...ensemble, clearly under-rehearsed, doesn't really gel, but there is nice work by lots of capable actors.

While Bryant waits for his offense to gel, he has come up with a few surprises. Split End James Mallard, a world-class track man until a few weeks ago (in 1979 Mallard ran the world's second fastest 200 meters), played the first football game of his life against Georgia Tech. He caught the first pass...
