...Bulldogs, however, don’t necessarily come into this contest on an emotional high either. Yale staved off a desperation drive by Columbia to hold on for a 21-14 last weekend. Everyone from quarterback Alvin Cowan (172 yards, two TDs, two interceptions) to running back Robert Carr (21 rushes, 97 yards, one TD) had an average day, leading to an average result against a terrible opponent.

Despite the presence of the two Ivy tackle leaders—Zak Keasey and Justin Stull, who entered the game with 59 apiece—Princeton was woefully ill-equipped to handle the talented Dawson, who crowned his day with an 80-yard breakaway touchdown...

Dawson’s first quarter touchdown catch from Fitzpatrick was his first scoring reception in a Harvard uniform...
