In Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, Rafferty takes us into the world of America's Ivy League universities via a 1968 football match that had a highly unexpected outcome. He interviews players on both sides, who -- in addition to talking about the game -- summon the socio-political milieu of the time, recollecting their thoughts on issues like Vietnam, birth control and student insurrection. These testimonies interweave with remarkable footage of the game, an erstwhile style of college play that possessed a grace lacking in today's professional football.
