CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A fake field goal. A surprise onside kick. Even some naked revelers in the Yale student section attempting to distract archrival Harvard.And the biggest trick of all from Yale in the 133rd edition of The Game: A 21-14 upset over the Crimson on Saturday to end a nine-year losing streak in one of the oldest rivalries in sports and spoil Harvards chances of an unprecedented fourth straight Ivy League title.Theres been a long streak. We dont like to talk about it, said Yale quarterback Kurt Rawlings, a freshman who threw for two touchdowns and ran for 74 yards. But its over. Now its our streak.Harvard (7-3, 5-2 Ivy) needed a victory to clinch a share of the conference championship . The Bulldogs (3-7, 3-4) had little to play for except a chance to spoil Harvards season.Thats exactly what they did.After setting up their first touchdown with a fake field goal, Yale opened the second half with an onside kick and scored to take its first lead. The Bulldogs went ahead for good with 4:14 left on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Rawlings to Reed Klubnik, who had the ball knocked out of his hands just after he reached across the goal line.Harvard coaches protested along the sideline. (There is no replay in the Ivy League.)The Crimson had two possessions in the final minutes, but couldnt score. Harvard players walked glumly back to their field house after blowing the chance to become the first class ever to win four straight conference championships.The nine straight Crimson victories in The Game was the longest winning streak in the history of a rivalry that was first played in 1875.Something we havent experienced in a long time is you can put it all out there, you can work as hard as you can, you can believe. And when you do that you still risk getting your heart broken, Harvard coach Tim Murphy said. Thats certainly what happened today.THE TAKEAWAYYale: Tony Reno picked up his first win against Harvard as head coach. He had also worked in both Cambridge and New Haven as an assistant.You grow as a season goes on. This team grew every week, Reno said. Sometimes it wasnt easy to see in the score, but what you saw today was the work we put in all year.Harvard: The Crimson could have clinched a share of the conference title either last week, against Penn, or in the finale. Instead, they end with two straight losses.Penn and Princeton both won on Saturday and will share the Ivy title.LET THE DANCING BEGINAfter the final kneel-down, Yale students poured out of the stands to celebrate with the team at midfield. Others danced in the form of a giant Y in the corner of Harvard Stadium that was the full height of the seating bowl.I was overjoyed, obviously, linebacker Darius Manora said, noting that he had played his last Game but would not stop rooting for the team: As an alum, Im excited for the future.NAKED STUDENTSOther Yale fans didnt wait for the end of the game to let it all out in support of their team.Although the traditional mid-November matchup has seen some days so frigid that fans head home with frostbite, this one was played under sunny skies and temperatures in the 50s.That was warm enough for a dozen or so students in the Yale student section to strip off their clothes and dance naked on the concrete wall of the century-old stadium. Police were seen escorting some from the stands, but a Harvard spokeswoman said there were no arrests.SLOW STARTIt took some time for the teams to get their bearings, playing 25 scoreless minutes and punting a combined 11 times to start the game before Charlie Booker bounced around the right end for a 27-yard touchdown to give Harvard a 7-0 lead late in the second quarter.Rawlings started Yales next drive with a 28-yard run and then the Bulldogs kept it going with a 16-yard jump pass on a fake field goal that put the ball on the 3. Alan Lamar ran it in from the 1.To start the second, Yale pulled off an onside kick that led to a 28-yard pass to Klubnik that gave the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead.Harvard tied it, picking up 34 yards to the Yale 2 on a fourth-and-3. Three plays later, Joe Viviano found Ryan Halvorson in the end zone to make it 14-all.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

"We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. Last week in this very same digital space, I liked Kevin Harvick as my top pick, because of his crazy laps led numbers recently at Dover. But I made Martin Truex Jr. my second pick.I kept the same order for my weekend picks, with the advice that if you could get both into your lineup, do it. I hope you could have worked it, because the 134.75 points for Truex in his victory was probably enough to overcome the -18.5 by Kevin Harvick, who had a track bar issue early in the race.Truex Jr. showed no signs of stopping his incredible run. He has averaged 106.9 DraftKings points per race over the past five weeks, going over 80 each week. He has finished as one of the top-two fantasy options each time out over that span.His recent performance is even more impressive when you consider that he, frankly, didnt enter the Chase that hot. In the four races before that run, Truex averaged 15.8 fantasy points per race, only once ranking better than 20th in fantasy points in a single event.How good has Truex been recently? Over just the past five weeks, he has raised his seasonlong fantasy points average from 48.0 to 58.2.Meanwhile, the only driver he trails in fantasy points average this season, Harvick, has gone the other way, dropping from 68.1 to 63.2 over the past four races, capped off by last weekends negative effort.Of course, we cant hold finishes solely against Harvick. One poor race was due to an unlucky pit road occurrence. Then the mechanical issue on Sunday led to another poor score. The other two of his past four starts were top-five finishes, although he only led eight laps combined in those four races.After a couple of weeks at one-mile tracks, were heading to a Saturday night race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 1.5-mile track. This is the most common track type on the schedule, and its especially common down the stretch this season, as four of the final seven races are on this sort of course.The spring race at the track is a 400-lap, 600-mile affair, which plays like a short track, in terms of playing for the laps led. Saturdays race will be 100 miles shorter, but you still get 334 laps for bonus points purposes.So lets crunch the numbers and figure out some early-week fantasy plays for Charlotte. Remember to check back in over the weekend for my final picks and fades.Im starting my team with:Im not here to shake up the world and surprise you with my picks. Im all about providing solid fantasy plays. Therefore, my top pick this week is Martin Truex Jr. All you need to know abbout Truex this season is that hes averaging 94.dddddddddddd1 fantasy points per race on the 1.5-mile tracks. The second best is 61.9 points.Oh, you want another stat? The last time the Cup Series ran at Charlotte, Truex led 392 of 400 laps and won from the pole for 197 DraftKings fantasy points. Since 2005, when NASCAR began tracking all the stats used in DFS NASCAR, thats the highest-scoring day at a track measuring more than a mile.Keep an eye on these four:Kevin Harvick: Im sticking with Harvick despite the 15.5-point day in the last 1.5-mile track race, because it came due to unfortunate timing on pit road and not anything performance-related. In fact, Harvick kept pace with the leaders at Chicago but could just never get his lap back. Before that race, Harvick had finished in the top 10 at eight straight 1.5-mile tracks. He has also finished second in the past two Charlotte races, with five top-two finishes in the past seven races there.Jimmie Johnson: Johnson has been a less-expensive play and has shown signs of regaining his past form. After leading 95 laps combined in a 21-race span, Johnson has led at least 90 in two of the past three races, finishing in the top three in fantasy points in both of those starts. Sure, Truex dominated at Charlotte earlier this season, but he had 106 fastest laps, and Johnson, who finished third, had 72.Kasey Kahne: Im going out on a limb with Kahne, who has finished 10th or worse in the past five Charlotte races (28.5 DraftKings points per race) after finishing eighth or better in the previous five there (96.1 points per race). In his past five races overall, regardless of track type, Kahne seems to be starting to figure it out, with an 8.2 average finish and 44 points per race, ninth among all drivers but best among those whose average cost is under $8,500.Jamie McMurray: Im not sure where McMurray will be in salary, but chances are hell be a little lower than he was before his technical issues at Dover. McMurray has been a start/finish differential monster at Charlotte over the past three seasons, moving up a combined 61 positions from his start in the five races combined, good for 49.8 points per race. That point average places him fifth among all drivers from 2014-16 at Charlotte.Thats all I have for you for now. Go enjoy some Carolina-style barbecue and some seasonally appropriate pumpkin-flavored food.
