1919 Harvard

Big weekend coming up for college football, and it's homecoming here at Alabama, where last night I ran into a bunch of former players after watching South Carolina handle Kentucky.

At one point, someone asked me about about Ivy League schools and how long it's been since they dominated the game. At one point I asked him if he knew that Harvard had played in the 1920 Rose Bowl.

The Crimson made its lone appearance and defeated Oregon, 7-6. At 7-0-1, Harvard was considered the consensus national champion. Courtesy Tournament of Roses archives.
