...touchdown, and junior Patrick Long missed an extra point and a field goal. And the Crimson’s special teams troubles are not a recent phenomenon. Harvard entered the contest ranked last in the Ivies in kick returns and punt returns, as well as seventh in net punting. In week two against Brown, a missed extra point at the end of the Crimson’s first touchdown drive forced Harvard to have to go for two late in the game. “You miss an extra point, you can’t do that against a very...
