Harvard Football: Harvard 31, Dartmouth 10
Harvard’s football team secured a convincing 31-10 victory over Dartmouth on November 4, 2025, moving into sole possession of first place in the Ivy League. Quarterback Jaden Craig shined, setting a new school record with his passing despite challenging windy conditions at the stadium.
Record-Breaking Performance
Craig, a senior, completed four touchdown passes during the game. His third touchdown, a nine-yard pass to sophomore tight end Logan Reaska in the fourth quarter, marked his 42nd career touchdown for Harvard. This achievement broke the previous record held by Neil Rose from the class of 2003. Currently ranked No. 43 nationally, Craig and the team have three games left to extend this record.
Team Standings and Defense
- Harvard remains unbeaten with a 7-0 overall record and 4-0 in Ivy League play.
- Dartmouth's record fell to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the league.
- Harvard's defense, led by junior linebacker Sean Line who recorded 12 tackles, effectively limited Dartmouth’s strong offense to just 261 total yards, including only 61 rushing yards by the Big Green.
- Following the win, Harvard moved up three spots in the national Stats Performance Football Championship Series Poll.
“With quarterback Jaden Craig whipping passes through the blustery Stadium wind like projectiles (and in the process setting a new school record), Harvard’s football team on Saturday assumed sole possession of first place in the Ivy League by beating Dartmouth 31-10.”
