Princeton 59, Yale 23
Story and stats
The Tigers topped the 50-point mark for the fifth time while claiming at least a share of their first Ivy League title since 2006. Princeton had remarkable balance with 254 rushing yards and 253 passing yards. Princeton, whose only loss was by one point in its opener against Lehigh, has scored an Ivy League record 413 points this fall – with Saturday's game against Dartmouth still to play.
Harvard 38, Penn 30
Story and stats
The Crimson stayed alive for a share of the Ivy League title in strange fashion, jumping out to a 38-0 lead and then having to hold on as the Quakers roared back with 30 consecutive points, the first coming with 4:25 left in the third quarter. Penn quarterback Ryan Becker just missed diving receiver Conner Scott in the end zone on the Quakers' final drive, which ended at the Harvard 20. Harvard needs to win at Yale and have Dartmouth beat Princeton next week to earn a share.
Cornell 24, Columbia 9
Story and stats
With record-setting Jeff Mathews sidelined by injury, sophomore James Few completed 14-of-17 throws for 178 yards and a par of touchdowns as Cornell snapped a seven-game losing streak. The Big Red did not allow a touchdown while holding the ball for almost 15 1/2 minutes more than the winless Lions.

Bucknell 17, Georgetown 7
Story and stats

Butler 58, Morehead State 27
Story and stats
Trae Heeter ran for four touchdowns and added another on a reception as Butler claimed a share of the Pioneer Football League title along with Marist and San Diego. Either the 9-3 Bulldogs or Marist will represent the PFL in the NCAA playoffs (as determined Tuesday by the league's power rankings) because San Diego – which would have been the league's representative – forfeited the opportunity because of improperly awarded financial aid.
