The 1968 Harvard Crimson football team was an American football team that represented Harvard University during the 1968 NCAA University Division football season. Harvard was co-champion of the Ivy League.
In their 12th year under head coach John Yovicsin, the Crimson compiled an 8âÂÂ0âÂÂ1 record and outscored opponents 236 to 90. Vic Gatto was the team captain.
Both Harvard and Yale were unbeaten entering their season-ending rivalry matchup. Their 29âÂÂ29 tie resulted in identical 6âÂÂ0âÂÂ1 conference records, and in both teams being named co-champions of the league. The Crimson outscored Ivy opponents 150 to 70. The final game inspired the famous headline "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29" printed in The Harvard Crimson, and a 2008 documentary film of the same name.
Harvard played its home games at Harvard Stadium in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
Actor Tommy Lee Jones was a starting guard on the team.
