CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Jaden Craig threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns and Harvard dominated its season opener, beating Stetson 35-0 on Saturday.
The Crimson scored on the game’s opening drive and were never challenged. Craig threw a 43-yard touchdown to Scott Woods II on a seven-play, 85-yard drive.
Harvard held Stetson to three-and-out and forced a punt. Woods returned the 32-yard punt 27 yards to Stetson’s 20-yard line. He followed that up with a 15-yard run to help set up Shane McLaughlin’s 4-yard scoring run.
Harvard made it a 21-0 lead when on Stetson’s follow-up drive, Mitchell Gonser intercepted Trip Maxwell and returned it 37 yards just before the midway mark of the opening quarter.
Seven seconds before halftime, Craig threw a 24-yard scoring pass to Ryan Osborne. In the third, he added a 25-yard scoring pass to Cooper Barkate.
Harvard held Stetson to 101 yards.
