Harvard Football: Harvard 31, Dartmouth 10

A convincing win and a new record put the Crimson alone in first place

On November 4, 2025, the Harvard Crimson football team secured a dominant 31–10 victory over Dartmouth at Harvard Stadium, taking sole possession of first place in the Ivy League.

Quarterback Jaden Craig, a senior, delivered an outstanding performance, throwing four touchdown passes in windy conditions and setting a new school record.

Craig’s third touchdown, a nine-yard pass to sophomore tight end Logan Reaska in the fourth quarter, marked his 42nd career touchdown for Harvard, surpassing the previous record set by Neil Rose ’03.

With three games still left in the season, Craig has the opportunity to extend his newly set record. The win also kept the Crimson undefeated at 7–0 overall and 4–0 in Ivy League play, while Dartmouth fell to 5–2, 2–2.

Defensive Strength

Harvard’s defense, led by junior linebacker Sean Line with a game-high 12 tackles, shut down Dartmouth’s offensive efforts. The Big Green were held to just 261 total yards, including only 61 rushing yards.

Following the victory, Harvard climbed three spots in the national Stats Perform FCS Poll.
