Starting QB For Penn Expected To Be Ready For Dartmouth

UPDATE: The Daily Dartmouth has an interview with retiring admissions director Karl Furstenberg.

The Daily Pennsylvanian quotes Penn coach Al Bagnoli as saying his starting quarterback, Robert Irvin, will be able to go against Dartmouth this week after leaving last week's game against Villanova with a "twisted ankle." Of Penn's loss to the Wildcats, Bagnoli said: "Either we made really good plays - 74-yard run, halfback pass, punt return for a touchdown - or we made some disastrous plays - gave up a 60-yard touchdown pass, interception, fumble, fumbled a punt. So it was one of those days ..."

The Boston Globe reports Harvard will be starting still another quarterback in this week's game against Lehigh. From the Globe: "Junior Rich Irvin, Harvard's fourth-string quarterback, will get the call against Lehigh (1-2). Irvin, a junior who transferred from Tulane following the 2004 season, started Harvard's season-opener last year before Liam O'Hagan seized the job."

The Harvard Crimson editorializes on the discipline problems with the school football team.

The Columbia Spectator has a roundup of last week's Ivy games.

The Daily Princetonian published the quote of the week out of the Sprint football team's loss to Cornell, 29-0. After the PU quarterbacks completed just 16-of-54 passes for 128 yards with three interceptions, coach Thomas Cocuzza said of his quarterback and receivers: "They were on different pages of different books within different libraries on separate campuses of two colleges with no Internet to communicate. And ultimately that is my fault." (Thanks to a subscriber for sending along the link)

Also from The Globe: "... (H)istoric Harvard Stadium is under serious consideration as a site for Eastern Mass. playoff games, perhaps including two Super Bowls. The 103-year-old field has not been a site for high school football postseason games." Making the difference: FieldTurf.
