NEW HAVEN, Connecticut (Ticker) -- Eric Johnson capped a record receiving day with a four-yard touchdown catch with 29 seconds left as Yale clinched a share of the Ivy League title with a thrilling 24-21 victory over Harvard in the 116th installment of "The Game." In the latest chapter of one of the sport's best rivalries, Johnson capped a nine-play, 58-yard drive by hauling in a tipped pass for the game-winner. The catch was Johnson's 21st of the game, a new Ivy League record. His 244 receiving yards were a school record and fifth all-time in the conference.

Troy Jones added 59 yards rushing and had scores on the ground and through the air. Andy Tuzzolino spearheaded the Bulldogs defensive attack with eight tackles, including a pair of sacks.
