After three quarters of play the game was a veritable rout with Harvard ahead 24-7 on the strength of Larry Brown's 11-17 passing and 73 yards rushing. For most of the game, though, the accolades belonged to the Crimson defense. Blitzing linebackers Bob Woolway and Matt Sabetti bivouacked in the Colgate backfield much of the game.
