Neither team moved the ball in a scoreless first quarter, and It seemed as though the Crimson might spring a surprise before an Army homecoming crowd of 40,504 in Mlchie Stadium. Enter Pavek, two plays after an Army punt in the second quarter.

Nine plays later, Sassaman flipped one of his perfectly timed pitches to Dee Bryant (a three-year regular at cornerback), who swept the left side for a 6-yard scoring scamper 12:18 into the quarter. Before the half was over, a feeble Crimson punt gave the Cadets possession at the Harvard 45. Sassaman (15 carries, 127 yards) carried 22 yards, and Craig Stopa kicked a 32-yard field goal with no time left for a 10-0 halftime lead. The Cadets Jumped on a Vignali fumble at the Harvard 43.

and turned that into a 17-0 lead when Sassaman completed his only pass of the game, a 20-yard TD toss to tight end Rob Dicker-son 5:12 into the third period.
