Lafayette-Harvard game-aftermath report
02.10.11
I have some dandy comments from Coach Tavani that will not get into my story in the print edition of The Morning Call. Suffice it to say that while he was calm and collected during the postgame interview, he will not be that way when he gets with his team during the upcoming bye week.
Below the postgame comments, you will see the blog I put together from the beginning of the day. Coach Tavani promised us on Tuesday that his team would play with some emotion on the day Fred M. Kirby's jersey was officially retired. With some exceptions, that did not happen. My story in the paper in the morning will not say much about the game, but more about Tavani's feelings going forward.
So, here are a couple of comments about the game.
I smelled trouble immediately when the Leopards opened the game by using almost six minutes of clock and then missing a 45-yard field goal wide right. And then on the first Harvard play, Leroy Butler was hit with a roughing the passer penalty, adding 15 yards on to the end of a five-yard gain.
