Harris turned in a performance for the NEC’s single-game record book during Bryant’s visit to first-place UAlbany. The sophomore’s sensational effort spearheaded the Bulldogs’ second-half comeback, which ended with the host Danes incurring their first league loss of the season. The 6-foot-2 target accounted for the fifth-highest single-game receiving total in NEC history, and the highest since Nov. 12, 2005. Harris made 10 receptions for 224 yards and two second-half touchdowns that swung the score in Bryant’s favor. After hauling in three passes for a total of 46 yards before halftime, Harris exploded for 178 yards receiving over the final 30:00 as Bryant turned a 17-10 deficit into a 31-17 victory. On a 2nd-and-5 play during the Bulldogs’ opening drive of the second half, Harris took on double coverage and pulled in a 34-yard pass in the back corner of the end zone. With the score tied at 17 apiece on Bryant’s next drive, he converted a 2nd-and-8 situation with a nine-yard catch followed by a 10-yard reception on a 3rd-and-7. One play after the third-down conversion, Harris hauled in a sideline pass at UAlbany’s 45-yard line and turned on the burners for a 66-yard touchdown. Averaging 22.4 yards per catch, which is actually below his season average of 22.9 ypr, Harris moved his league-leading receiving yards total to 780.
