...pinned Lehigh inside its own 10-yard line. The Mountain Hawks tried to form a drive, but the Crimson defense held tough. On a third-down-and-two from its own 37, Lehigh elected to rush up the middle. Harvard stuffed the play, and was ecstatic. One problem: a lineman had taken a quick step offside, negating the stop and giving Lehigh a first down.

Murphy frequently remarks that the team "takes him for granted," but that is the nature of his position. And despite his verbal flourishes on the gridiron itself, Clare would just as soon keep it that...
