The 1968 Yale vs. Harvard football game was an American college football game between the team of Yale University and the team of Harvard University played on November 23, 1968. The game ended in a tie with a score of 29–29 after Harvard made what is considered a miraculous last-moment comeback, scoring 16 points in the final 42 seconds to tie the score against a highly touted Yale squad. The significance of the moral victory for Harvard inspired the next day's ''Harvard Crimson'' student newspaper to print the famous headline "Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29".〔("Harvard Beats Yale" )〕 In 2010, ESPN ranked it #9 in its list of the top ten college football ties of all time. Yale came into the game with a 16-game winning streak and its quarterback, Brian Dowling, had only lost one game when he was in the starting lineup since the sixth grade. Both schools entered the game undefeated and untied with 8–0 records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=University of Notre Dame )〕 It was the first time both schools met when undefeated and untied since the 1909 season. The tie left both teams 8–0–1 for the season. The famous headline was later used as the title for ''Harvard Beats Yale 29-29'', a 2008 documentary about the game directed by Kevin Rafferty.〔(Documentary )〕 This game stands as the final tie in the series, as subsequent rule changes have eliminated ties from college football. ==See also== * 1968 college football season * Harvard–Yale football rivalry * List of Harvard–Yale football games * Brian Dowling (Yale quarterback) * Tommy Lee Jones (Harvard tackle) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1968 Yale vs. Harvard football game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
