HANOVER, N.H. -- — Jaden Craig threw for 311 yards and a touchdown, Charles Deprima rushed for two fourth-quarter touchdowns and Harvard beat Dartmouth 31-27 on Saturday for its fifth straight win.

It was the lone FCS contest on Saturday featuring two teams with one loss or fewer on the season. The winning streak for Harvard (6-1, 3-1 Ivy League) is its longest since the 2015 squad opened the campaign with eight consecutive victories.

Deprima pulled Harvard within 27-24 with 5:59 remaining in the fourth quarter after capping a 14-play, 94-yard drive with a 6-yard TD. After Dartmouth went three-and-out, Harvard chewed up 3 minutes, 32 seconds ending in a 9-yard touchdown run by Deprima with just 27 seconds left.

The Crimson won at Dartmouth (6-1, 3-1) for the 14th time in 15 meetings since the start of 1994, including a 28-13 decision in 2022.

Deprima opened the scoring on Harvard's first possession of the game and Kieran Corr added a 32-yard field goal before Dartmouth scored the next 20 points for a 10-point lead late in the third quarter.

The end of the third quarter saw 21 points scored in the final 3:03. Dartmouth QB Jackson Proctor connected with Chris Corbo from 11-yards out and Daniel Haughton from 72 yards, sandwiched around Craig's 29-yard TD pass to Seamus Gilmartin.

Cooper Barkate led Harvard's receivers with 124 yards.

Proctor passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns for Dartmouth.
