Harvard triumphs over Princeton and celebrates its sixth win in a row!

On Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Harvard Crimson football team celebrated an impressive win against the Princeton Tigers with a final score of 35-14. This game was the culmination of an already successful season for Harvard, which now boasts a record of 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Ivy League. Not only have the Crimson won their last six games, but they've also won their last six road games dating back to last season, like that Boston Globe reported.

Quarterback Jaden Craig showed his strength again and threw for 216 yards and a touchdown. He was accompanied by Xaviah Bascon, who made an important contribution with 101 yards and another touchdown. The game wasn't without its challenges, however: Princeton led 14-10 in the second quarter after Kai Colón threw an impressive 51-yard touchdown pass to Ethan Clark. However, Harvard followed suit and secured the lead with a 25-yard field goal by Kieran Corr and a touchdown run by Bascon just before halftime.

The game highlights

  • Cam Henry startete in der ersten Halbzeit mit einem 69-Yard-Catch-and-Run Touchdown.
  • Im letzten Viertel bereicherten Isaiah Bullock und DJ Gordon das Punkte-Konto von Harvard mit weiteren Touchdowns.
  • Princeton’s Kai Colón absolvierte 19 von 31 Pässen für 239 Yards und zwei Touchdowns, jedoch auch eine Interception.
  • Aidan Besselman trug ebenfalls einen Touchdown für die Tigers bei.

Harvard has established itself as one of eight undefeated teams in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) this season, alongside other strong contenders such as North Dakota State and Montana. The team is led by its second-year head coach Andrew Aurich, who is already bringing a breath of fresh air to the Ivy League, while Harvard has established itself as the favorite for the title Wikipedia is held.

A historic change in the Ivy League

But that's not all: The Ivy League will participate in the FCS playoffs this season for the first time in 80 years. This is a significant step as league executives have taken seriously the voices of student-athletes interested in participating in postseason play. Since the adoption of the Ivy Group Agreement in 1945, participation in these games has been prohibited in order to keep academic priorities high, such as Sports Illustrated writes.

This decision will significantly increase the visibility of athletes in the Ivy League. Although the league continues to not award athletic scholarships or allow transfer portal use like other FCS programs, playoff participation represents a turning point in the history of football at these prestigious universities.

The success and changes that Harvard and the Ivy League are undergoing are a clear sign that there is a lot of movement in the American college football world. The Crimson are excited about the challenges ahead this season.
