Princeton's huge win over Harvard ignites hopes for a bonfire

For anyone who has somehow managed to avoid the news, Princeton football scored 28 points in the fourth quarter to come from behind and beat Harvard yesterday at a final score of 39-34, leaving open the chance for a bonfire at Canon Green (pending a victory over Yale). Better yet, they did it in front of the masses of alumni who had come down for Homecoming.At halftime, the Tigers trailed by 20 and were yet to score; at it’s highest, the team faced a 24-point deficit, making their win all the more dramatic.Following the victory—which was sealed with a late 39-yard touchdown pass—Princetonians of all ages stormed the field, celebrating the Tigers’ undefeated record in the Ivy League.The Tigers are scheduled to face Yale on November 10. A Princeton victory would complete the sweep necessary for our first bonfire (in honor of the two victories) since 2006!
