Triple overtime games are few and far between, yet Harvard has already played two games that took three extra frames to complete this year. In Saturday’s 48-51 loss to Princeton, both teams were able to rack up a substantial amount of stats in a game that saw over an hour and a half of playing time on the field. The Back Page takes a look at some of the noteworthy statistics from the 99-point game.
970 — Combined yards of total offense from both teams
122 — Tackles executed by Harvard’s defense
190 — Total number of plays run from scrimmage
53 — Combined number of first downs
23 — Harvard’s rank in the FCS before the game. The team has since dropped from the rankings
39-34 — The score of last year’s game in which Princeton handed Harvard its first loss of the season on a last minute touchdown drive (sound familiar?)
30:02 — Princeton’s time of possession during regulation
52.3 — Harvard quarterback Conner Hempel’s completion percentage
481 — Combined yards punted by each team on 12 punts
