Princeton University Football Team Snaps Harvard Defense's Stingy Streak

John Lovett’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Nick Peabody was the only score the Princeton University football team could manage in a 42-7 loss to Harvard on Saturday, according to espn.com.

It also snapped a string of 12 consecutive quarters in which no team had managed to find the end zone against the Crimson’s defense, according to the report. Harvard last allowed a touchdown in the fourth quarter of its 53-27 win over Brown on Sept. 26, when Kyle Moreno threw two touchdown passes for the Bears.

Harvard quarterback Scott Hosch threw for 437 yards and two touchdowns. The passing total was the third highest single game total for a Harvard quarterback.

Chad Kanoff threw for 203 yards and an interception in the loss.

Harvard improved to 6-0 overall, 3-0 in Ivy League play. It remains in a first place tie with Dartmouth (6-0, 3-0). Those teams play each other Friday night, 7:30 p.m. in a game that will be nationally televised on NBC Sports Network.

Princeton (4-2, 1-2) lost its second straight game. The Tigers look to get back on track next Saturday at home against Cornell (0-6, 0-3).
