  "account": "Charlie Smith had an outstanding game for Harvard, completing 369 yards and scoring two touchdowns. The Crimson team secured a thrilling 20-17 victory over Colgate on Saturday, thanks to a crucial last-second play. With only four seconds remaining on the clock and their opponents holding a 17-14 lead, Smith launched a Hail Mary pass that found its mark in the hands of tight end Teigan Pelletier at the Colgate 5-yard line.\n\nPelletier, facing pressure from two Raiders defenders, skillfully lateraled the ball to freshman wide receiver Nate Bailey. Bailey, who amassed 197 yards receiving and a touchdown on 16 receptions, sprinted 8 yards to score the game-winning touchdown. Colgate, ranked 22nd in the polls, had just one chance to respond. Quarterback Jake Stearney orchestrated an 13-play, 75-yard drive, culminating in a 13-yard touchdown pass to Matt Fogler with 27 seconds left on the clock. Fogler contributed 138 yards receiving and a touchdown on 12 receptions. Harvard moves on to face Cornell in their next game.",
