For the 126th time, Yale and Harvard will square off this Saturday at the Yale Bowl in what has become a classic gridiron battle between two ivy league rivals.
Yale is 4-5 this year and hopes to end a two-game skid and grab rivalry bragging rights for the first time in three years. The outcome of this game could potentially impact the Ivy League title.
Overall, the Bulldogs lead the Crimson, 65-52-8, leading into this 126th meeting, but Harvard has won seven of the last eight games.
While either team can win when it comes to the game, this year the Crimson probably come in as more of a favorite than any team in this contest since undefeated Harvard beat, 0-6, Yale back in 1997.
Of course, with a big matchup comes big tailgating and big traffic issues. The roads around the Yale Bowl are not made to accomodate the type of volume seen for the Harvard game. Click here for more information on Yale's parking plan for this Saturday.
Kickoff is at noon. If you don't have tickets to the game, you can watch it on Versus or listen on WELI (AM-960) or WYBC (AM-1340).
