PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Alek Torgersen went 23 of 33 for 263 yards and threw his second touchdown pass with 15 seconds left to help Penn beat Harvard 27-14 on Friday night.
Justin Watson caught the go-ahead 2-yard touchdown pass on a quick slant to cap a 10-play, 80-yard drive after Harvard had tied it a 14-all with 3:23 left. Two plays later, Harvard fumbled and Tayler Hendrickson returned it 18 yards for a score as time ran out.
Torgersen became Penn’s all-time leader in passing touchdowns with 51. He also had a 47-yard touchdown connection with Christian Pearson.
Watson made 10 catches for 120 yards and a touchdown for Penn (6-3, 5-1 Ivy League). Pearson added seven grabs for 101 yards and one TD.
Joseph Viviano III threw for 216 yards and a touchdown Harvard (7-2, 5-1) but was hurt by three interceptions - one that was returned for a 40-yard touchdown by Louis Vecchio to give Penn a 7-3 lead.
