Template:Infobox college sports team season Template:1982 Ivy League football standings The 1982 Harvard Crimson football team was an American football team that represented Harvard University during the 1982 NCAA Division I-AA football season. The Crimson were one of three co-champions of the Ivy League.
In their 12th year under head coach Joe Restic, the Crimson compiled a 7–3 record and outscored opponents 259 to 136. Greg Brown was the team captain.[1]
Harvard's 5–2 conference record put it in a three-way tie atop the Ivy League standings. The Crimson outscored Ivy opponents 191 to 88.[2] Despite having the best in-conference and overall point differentials of the three, Harvard lost its head-to-head matchups against both of its co-champions, Dartmouth and Penn.
This was Harvard's first year in Division I-AA, after having competed in the top-level Division I-A and its predecessors since 1873.
Harvard played its home games at Harvard Stadium in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
