Without the services of Yohe or MacLeod, Harvard won't get on the scoreboard until the final period, when senior Tony Molinari intercepts a Darin Kehler pass and runs back for a 62-yd. touchdown.

But by that time, the Elis will have already made retribution for last-year's frigid Crimson victory. Yale will jump out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, add seven insurance points before halftime, and eventually take The Game, 31-7.

This one matters more to Harvard than it does to Yale.

The Elis may be set to avenge last year's defeat at Yale Bowl, but Harvard is playing at home in a year when it already knows it's been a major disappointment. Never has a team with no shot at a title had more to lose in The Game than Harvard does this year.

The Crimson led the Ivies in offense, and today those statistics should be backed up with points. Harvard will score with consistency. On defense, the Crimson's weakness has been in defending the pass. Today, it faces a run-oriented offense which plays right to its strength. Harvard will win, 31-14.
