Instead of starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick taking the field—as many thought he would given his solid play over the last few weeks—Rose came back under center. And unlike the Rose of last week against Northeastern, his first game back from injury where he never looked comfortable and was benched early, Rose made plays reminiscent of not only the first two games of the season against Holy Cross and Brown but also...
...third down at the Princeton 40, Rose tossed a nice floater that found senior wideout Carl Morris right between two defenders for a 24-yard completion. Four plays later, he found junior tight end Matt Fratto for a fingertip catch to get to the two-yard line. That pair of passes set up senior tailback Nick Palazzo’s touchdown run to put Harvard on top, 14-7, and gave the Crimson a lead it would never relinquish...

This came only two games removed from a 353-yard passing effort against Cornell, and perhaps spoiled an opportunity to solidify a starting job after almost leading the Crimson to an upset of Northeastern last week...
...Both Rose and Fitzpatrick have been outstanding at various points this season, which only makes the picture fuzzier. Each has started three games this season, and both are completing over 60 percent of their passes. They also boast similar efficiency ratings, Rose at 148.53, Fitzpatrick...

But he’s been nearly perfect at throwing downfield and managing the offense...
