12:43 p.m. — First Quarter Finishes

Harvard struggled throughout the first quarter, as the team showed its nerves with a disastrous start. The Crimson will need to significantly improve its play and figure out how to make headway with Yale’s defense if it wishes to snap its losing streak against the Bulldogs.

Harvard started the game with a fumble, and things didn’t improve much from there. With prime field position, Yale immediately scored. Harvard, looking sloopier than the team has all season, managed one first down during the entire quarter and a series of bad punts continued to give Yale opportunities.

Harvard’s defense managed to keep Yale’s score from ballooning, but Head Coach Andrew Aurich will need to speak to his team and make some changes going into the next quarter
