...victory, a 37-6 joyride past the hapless Elis, was downright Belichickian, from the defense’s ability to neutralize its opponent’s greatest threat (running back Mike McCleod), to the offense’s aerial proficiency. You’ll be forgiven if you mistook quarterback Chris Pizzotti’s passing totals (316 yards, four touchdowns) for Tom Brady’s. Any more, and he would have been accused of running up the score.Neither Boston’s nor Harvard’s success, however, is limited to just one team. Just...
