On a day when neither team could get much going through the air, Harvard's ground game picked up the slack, rushing for 251 yards and all four touchdowns and giving up only 62 to a struggling Cornell running attack that has averaged just 57 yards over its last three games. The win boosted Harvard (3-1, 2-0 Ivy), the preseason favorite to win the Ivy League, to the top of the conference standings, while dropping Cornell (2-2, 1-1) into a fourth-place tie with Yale.

Crimson freshman running back Treavor Scales accounted for 92 yards and two touchdowns and junior running back Gino Gordon scored once and netted a game-high 150 all-purpose yards.

Cornell senior quarterback Ben Ganter went 15-for-31 for 120 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, both picked off by freshman cornerback Brian Owusu. Senior Bryan Walters was his favorite target once again, catching six passes for 50 yards. Sophomore wideout Shane Savage caught his second career touchdown pass, a 17-yard strike from Ganter that was set up by a boneheaded penalty called on the Crimson. The penalty was illegal participation — too many men on the field— and came on a fourth-and-long situation; it extended the Red's drive, eventually leading to Cornell's only touchdown of the day. Brad Greenway kicked a career-high 47-yard field goal.

Freshman defender Ben Kenyon scored his first career goal to help the Red to a tie with Harvard, the No. 8 team in the nation. Junior goalie Scott Brody made a career-high nine saves to preserve the draw.
