VIDEO: Awful Camera Work Nearly Misses Incredible Dartmouth Hail Mary to Stay Unbeaten vs Harvard
By Chris Pyo
In some Ivy League action, Harvard Crimson football was up 6-3 against Dartmouth in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter. However, Dartmouth had the ball around midfield and was ready to send one last prayer to the endzone. The result of the play? Well, you can see it in the video below, but some shoddy camerawork nearly missed the entire play, to the behest of Ivy League fans.

I mean, the camera operator zooms slowly moves across the field for a couple of seconds before finding his target in the endzone. Was the operator simply unable to follow the path of the football, which at this point is their only job, or were they just twiddling around for the most important play of the game?
Here's another angle of the play, tweeted out from the official account of Dartmouth football. At least that video should be able to track the ball and the play, right?
It’s the play everyone is clamoring to see! Derek Kyler with the @JPosnanski Houdini effort to escape the rush, Masaki Aerts hauls it in for the GW TD in the end zone as time expires! #DartFB @IvyLeague #SCTop10 #IvyTop5 pic.twitter.com/TzSDrWxDsY

Nope. Where are they getting these camera operators from?
With this 9-6 win, Dartmouth moves to 6-0 on the season, and they'll take on fellow undefeated Ivy League counterparts Princeton at Yankee Stadium next Saturday.
