Josh Pitsenberger broke loose for a late 56-yard touchdown, his third of the game, to complete Yale's stunning 43-42 comeback over Youngstown State in the Bulldogs' FCS playoff debut on Saturday Yale (9-2) trailed 35-7 at halftime before scoring 36 second-half points, including 21 in the fourth quarter, taking the lead when Pitsenberger sprinted for the go-ahead score with three minutes remaining. The 15th-seeded Penguins (8-5) turned it over on downs on their next possession and the Bulldogs reached the YSU 1-yard line with 1:16 left when Pitsenberger eschewed a touchdown and intentionally went down. Kneel-downs took care of the rest. Next up for Yale will be a trip to second-seeded Montana State next Saturday. Yale and the Ivy League were participating in the FCS playoffs for the first time and the Bulldogs were matched up against a program making its 16th appearance. It looked like Yale would be making an early exit after three first-half turnovers led to Youngstown State touchdowns and it had been outgained 358-132 in total offense.

The teams exchanged touchdowns to start the second half before the Bulldogs scored a late third-quarter touchdown on a 1-yard Pitsenberger run then added Dante Reno's 11-yard TD pass to Lucius Anderson to start the fourth. Reno's 4-yard pass to Graham Smith with five minutes left got Yale within one score. After the Penguins turned the ball over on downs, Pitsenberger scored on the next play. Pitsenberger, the Ivy's offensive player of the year, rushed for 209 yards on 32 carries. Reno was 21-of-28 for 260 yards with three TDs and two interceptions. Anderson made eight catches for 138 yards. Jaxton Santiago had 104 yards on nine catches before a fourth-quarter injury. Beau Brungard threw for three touchdowns - all to Max Tomczak - and ran for three more for the Penguins. He was 23-of-35 passing for 317 yards and rushed for 90 more on 17 carries. Tomczak had six catches for 105 yards and Ky Wilson nine for 102. - AP College Football

Dante Reno lit up No. 10 Harvard for 273 yards and three touchdowns as No. 25 Yale seized an Ivy League FCS playoff berth with a 45-28 win in the 141st edition of The Game on Saturday. Reno needed only one snap to strike: after a forced fumble by Brandon Webster on Harvard's first play, he hit Jaxton Santiago for a 21-yard touchdown at 14:42 of the first. He later found Nico Brown for a 64-yard score and connected with Lucius Anderson for the freshman's first career touchdown, finishing 15 of 19 while averaging more than 14 yards per attempt. Brown led all receivers with 189 yards.

Yale (8-2, 6-1 Ivy) controlled the game behind running back Josh Pitsenberger, who carried 38 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns. His 35th career rushing score, an 8-yarder early in the second, moved him to second on Yale's all-time list. He added touchdowns from the 1 and 4 to push the Bulldogs ahead 38-14. Harvard (9-1, 6-1) answered with spurts from quarterback Jaden Craig, who threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns while adding a 26-yard scoring run. He found Ryan Tattersall twice for scores and hit Brady Blackburn from 31 yards out, but the Crimson spent the entire afternoon chasing double-digit deficits and mustered only 94 rushing yards. The loss cost Harvard its bid for its first unbeaten season since 2014 and delivered Yale the playoff spot through a head-to-head tiebreaker. - AP College Football
