Sack, Sack
Harvard Captain Don Peterson turned in a fine campaign, recording his record-breaking 11th sack of the season in Week 8. The previous record was held by last year's captain Kevin Dulsky.
The Crimson smothered Cornell. Had the Big Red not benefitted from a pair of errant Harvard snaps on punts, it would not be sharing the Ivy crown today.
Somehow, Harvard Coach Joe Restic maintained his optimism. After the final indignity had been inflicted upon his team, a loss to Yale at The Stadium, Restic showed rare humor. To a reporter's question about why the Harvard-Yale series is so close--in Restic's time here, Yale holds a 10-8 advantage--Restic smiled.
"[Yale Coach Carm Cozza] and I try to keep the alumni at both schools happy," Restic said. "There's a conspiracy. Carm and I have been working it for years."
Laughter filled the press room.
Let this season be remembered for Restic's humor.
