Harvard Vs. Yale : Harvard Comes Back To Defeat Yale, 14-10
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Collier Winters threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as Harvard came back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat rival Yale 14-10, the Crimson’s eighth win in nine years against the Bulldogs.
Yale led 10-7 with just 2:25 left, but first-year coach Tom Williams called a fake punt on a fourth-and-22 from Yale’s 26-yard line. Harvard (7-3, 6-1 Ivy) got the ball when Yale safety John Powers was dragged down at his 40.
Three plays later, Winters hit Chris Lorditch down the left seam for a 32-yard score.
Gino Gordon ran for 86 yards on 13 carries, including a crucial 19-yard fourth-down run in the fourth quarter that sparked the Crimson comeback.
Alex Thomas had 124 yards on 26 carries for Yale (4-6, 2-5).
Harvard got on the board with just under 7 minutes left in the game. Winters hit Matt Luft with a 41-yard touchdown pass over the middle, two plays after Gordon converted that fourth down by spinning out of a tackle and racing down the left sideline.
