On the Quakers' next drive — which proved to be their last — Sam Smith missed a 46-yard field goal attempt at the end of a nine-play, 45-yard drive that lasted five minutes. Taking the ball from their own 29 with 1:55 left, Deprima led Harvard on the game-winning march.

Deprima was 13-of-18 passing for 169 yards and a touchdown. He ran for 122 yards on 20 carries and scored a touchdown.

Liam O'Brien's 4-yard touchdown run with 12:05 left gave Penn its last lead at 28-21. He threw for three touchdowns on 13-of-18 passing for 171 yards. Malachi Hosley ran for 143 yards on 17 carries for Penn (4-5, 2-4).
