Harvard forced an incompletion on third-and-8 but committed a personal foul for roughing the passer on a cornerback blitz. The 15-yard penalty let Princeton's offense stay on the field and gave it the ball at midfield.

Crenshaw directed the Tigers down to the Crimson 7 before a timely Princeton penalty and an incompletion stopped the drive. Northrop kicked a 34-yard field goal to put the Tigers on the board.

The rest of the game was played near midfield as both teams struggled to find a way to score.

Harvard relied heavily on Menick as the Crimson's throwing game barely produced 100 yards. Harvard finished the game with 194 rushing yards on 43 attempts. Menick's 6.1 yard-per-carry average and hard-nosed running style made it very difficult for the Tigers' defense to tackle him, and Menick moved to within 37 yards of Eion Hu's '97 school career rushing record.

Much of the credit for Menick's high yards per carry average has to go to the offensive line as well as to Menick's bruising style.

Menick got most of his yards through the heart of the Tigers defense and after contact. The Crimson offensive line was very effective at opening holes inside while Menick enjoyed only limited success running wide.

Princeton, facing the Crimson's senior-laden defensive front seven, relied on its passing attack throughout the game. The Tigers unveiled a new five-wide receiver set against Harvard, which they used with some success.
