"We were in the wrong defense in the beginning," sophomore safety Mike Jacobs, who came in for McLeod, said after the game. "We had to get to the quarterback," head coach Joe Restic said, explaining the adjustments Harvard made to handle the quarterback-halfback pitch.
Many individuals merit credit, including Beling, the defensive signal caller, but perhaps the biggest surprise was Jacobs. He was the safety who was called upon to shut down the pitch and time and time again he dropped Penn's Denis Grosvenor and Ron Gray for losses on the right side...
And Jacobs nipped Penn's nascent air attack in the bud, almost intercepting one pass and tackling Penn receiver Kevin Blake at the Harvard seven with 38 seconds left and paydirt in front of him.
"I was just reading the tight end all day, I was waiting for him," Jacobs said while signing autographs for Cub Scouts after the game. "I almost picked that one off. I saw 70 yards of astroturf ahead of me. Six points, six points flashing."
