Yale-Harvard matchups are known as "The Game," and the intense rivalry dates back to 1875.

During Saturday's meeting at Harvard Stadium, a bunch of Yale students carried out part of the rivalry's tradition, removing all of their clothes and standing on the wall bordering the field.

The act delayed the game for several minutes, and is called the "Saybrook Strip," a tradition that began in the 1970s.

The Bulldogs would beat the Crimson for the first time since 2006, and fans climbed over that same wall to storm the field following the game.
