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
