THE GAME | LIVE BLOG: The 125th edition of The Game 11.22.08
BOSTON — Harvard steamrolled the Elis on Saturday, holding the Yale offense scoreless en route to a 10-0 victory and at least a share of the Ivy League title.
In the 125th edition of The Game, the Bulldogs could not muster any offense whatsoever. On a freezing afternoon at Harvard Stadium, quarterback Brook Hart ’11 completed only four passes, and Yale was held to only 90 yards of total offense and five first downs.
Running back Gino Gordon led Harvard (9-1, 6-1 Ivy) with 168 yards on 39 carries, including a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Patrick Long added a 23-yard field goal for the Cantabs in the fourth quarter to seal the victory over archrival Yale (6-4, 4-3).
With the win, Harvard clinches at least a share of the Ivy League title. Brown will win a share of the championship, too, if they hold their 41-10 third quarter lead against Columbia.
