I don't know what game you were watching yesterday at Noon, but Michigan v Ohio State ain't got shit on "The Game." Yale came into the game 9-0, and 6-0 in the Ivy, while Harvard traveled to the Yale Bowl 8-2 but also 6-0 in the Ivy. Just like Ohio St and Michigan this game was to decide who wins the Conference title.
In front of more than 57 thousand fans the Crimson had their way with Yale's vaunted defense thanks to three guys who look like they should be on the basketball team. QB Chris Pizzotti (6-5) and WRs Matt Luft (6-5) and Corey Mazza (6-4) are all big boys, and they played big boy football on Saturday. Pizzotti was 27 of 41 for 316 yards, with 4 TDs and no picks. Luft pulled in 8 of those passes for 160 yards and two scores while Mazza had 7 for 55. Harvard scored on a long TD on the first drive of the game and never looked back. It was 27-0 at the half and we were well on our way to adding the Crimson to the list of teams from the hub that can do no wrong. Harvard ended up winning 37-6.
Yale has a toe injury to star HB Mike McLeod to blame for their horrid performance on offense, but their D has no answers for their inability to slow down the Crimson passing attack. I hate to draw and obvious comparison, but with their stable of big receivers Harvard looked like the Patriots out there. A friend of mine who covers the Ivy was sure that the Bulldogs D would hold up against the Harvard passing attack, so this was an unexpected outcome... to some. I've been saying that Harvard was going to win the Ivy for weeks now.
