...making the road to a repeat title that much harder—and Cornell is hardly the cream of the Ivy crop. Record after: 2-2 (1-1 Ivy)OCT. 15, HARVARD at LAFAYETTE, 24-17Turning point: O’Hagan’s 20-yard touchdown strike to freshman receiver Alex Breaux to give Harvard a third-quarter, 21-14 lead that it would not relinquish—thanks to a final defensive stop by the Crimson with 37 seconds left in the game and the Leopards driving to tie. Cause for concern: Harvard was held...
