...turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions in the third quarter, it looked as if the game was lost for the Crimson. But then strong safety Mike Madden picked off a pass from Colgate quarterback Ryan Vena to set up a Crimson score. Then with 1:18 left, Wilford hit receiver Kyle Cremarosa from 33 yards out to tie the game. But Colgate drove 66 yards from the Harvard 15-yard-line in the final minute to set up the game-winning field goal, killing the Crimson comeback...
...Harvard was not finished, though. Wilford hit receivers Terrence Patterson and Carl Morris on consecutive plays to set up a 40-yard field goal attempt for placekicker Mike Giampaolo. But a low snap allowed the field goal to be blocked, and the Crimson was left with the crushing defeat...

Despite playing only three quarters, Wilford completed 26-of-34 passes for 398 yards, eclipsing the previous record by 46 yards. Harvard also broke modern league records for points and total yards (640). Menick rushed for four touchdowns and 120 yards on 22 attempts, and Morris, Cremarosa and receiver Andy Fried all had their biggest games of the season...
