...year.” Six straight wins later, Harvard faced a 9-0 Yale team that had won just one game by less than two touchdowns all season. By all accounts, the Crimson had no shot. But, once again, Harvard rose to the challenge, stuffing Bulldogs star Mike McLeod to the tune of just 50 yards on 20 carries, the third straight year the Crimson has held him under 100 yards. The defense, which let Yale passer Matt Polhemus run wild in Cambridge last season, held the shifty Yale quarterback to 39 total yards. And a team that...

In addition, running back Mike McLeod headlined the Bulldogs’ offense as the nation’s leading rusher with an average of 174.3 yards per game. No one expected the ensuing blowout against such a talented team. “We dreamed we’d get this result, we didn’t dream...
...field, Harvard put on a clinic that demonstrated our superiority in every element of the game. On defense, Harvard held Yale’s star running back Mike McLeod—who entered the game averaging 174 yards per outing—to 50 yards, stuffing all comparisons of McLeod to Clifton G. Dawson ’07. And Eli quarterback Matt Polhemus completed as many passes to Yale receivers as he did to Harvard defenders, allowing Steven K. Williams ’08 to set career and season marks for interceptions. Then there was the Harvard offense: Quarterback Christopher...
