...Page does not an entire story make. Harvard's defense yielded three big plays, but the Crimson offense was basically non-existent. Harvard quarterback Adam Lazarre-White failed to pass for 100 yards for the fourth straight week. Aside from a second-half 34-yard dash by Matt Johnson, Harvard's rushing attack produced nothing.

But I will dash into the great venture with all that pride and spirit an ancient race has given me." The man's generation, destined for the trenches at Ypres and the Somme, was almost innocent enough to ship off thinking of Horace's lines: "Dulce et decorum est/ Pro patria mori."
