The game was one of the most bizarre games ever played, due to a heavy downpour that absolutely flooded the field in Shreveport Louisiana, conditions that made it more than difficult to advance the ball either running or passing, puddles that rose above the players ankles, both coaches appeared to wait for the other team to make a mistake as the two teams combined for an NCAA record 77 punts, 39 by Texas Tech and 38 by Centenary of Louisiana. An astounding 67 punts occurred on first down, including 22 consecutively in the third and fourth quarters. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-abramson/support

Today we discuss the day Harvard beat Yale 29-29, Nov 23rd, 1968. On Nov 23rd, 1968, the Harvard Crimson entered ‘The Game', 8-0. The Yale Bulldogs entered ‘The Game' 8-0. The Ivy League title was at stake for arguably the Ivy League's and quite possibly, college football's most intense rivalry. The Crimson trailed the game 29-13 late in the 4th quarter. Then the Crimson went on a 14 play, 86 yd drive to close the gap to 29-21 with 42 seconds remaining. A successful 2-pt conversion and a recovered on-side kick followed by a 14-yd run, and a face mask penalty, all went to set up the famous last play with 4 seconds remaining. On the last play, QB Frank Champi avoided a fierce pass rush and found HB Vic Gatto in the end zone. With no time on the clock, Champi hit Pete Varney to complete the utterly implausible comeback, 16 pts in the final 42 seconds. The next day as the Harvard Crimson ran the headlines, ‘Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29.' --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-abramson/support
