The Good, the Bad & the Ugly - Penn at Harvard

THE GOOD - The Comeback

It's a weird game trajectory when one team scores the first 38 points of the game and the other team scores the final 30. But that's exactly what happened at Harvard. Penn's final drive could have tied the game and time wasn't even an issue, a stunning scene after the Quakers were down 38-0 on the road more than 10 minutes into the third quarter. Give fifth-year senior quarterback Ryan Becker for engineering what was almost one of the most incredible comebacks in college football history. In the end, he was just 20 yards short.

THE BAD - The Second Quarter

It got ugly fast. Penn got blown out 24-0 in the second period, Harvard racked up 216 yards of total offense in that quarter alone, culminating in a two-play, 40-yard drive in 13 seconds to put the Crimson ahead by that 24-point margin after a regrettable decision by Al Bagnoli not to kneel down on its own 35 with 40 seconds left at the end of the half set up a Billy Ragone interception.

THE UGLY - The Run Game

At the end of the first quarter, Harvard QB Conner Hempel had netted 15 rushing yards, nine more than Penn as a team. And it just got worse. The Quakers amassed just 75 yards on 29 carries for a 2.9 average, forcing Penn into a one-dimensional situation for much of its nightmare first half.
