Brown (0-2) turned the ball over four times and an efficient Scott Hosch completed 12-of-19 throws for 151 yards and three touchdowns as Harvard (2-0) vaulted out to a 37-0 halftime lead and never looked back in winning its 15th consecutive game. The Crimson led, 53-6, late in the third quarter. Backup quarterback Kyle Moreno passed for 307 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two more for the Bears, who went 20 minutes before recording their initial first down. The game drew 15,804.
Yale 33, Cornell 26
The Bulldogs (2-0) continue to play with fire. After a late comeback brought a win over Colgate a week before they used a 17-point fourth quarter highlighted by a 52-yard scoring pass with 32 seconds left to sneak past Cornell (0-2). Morgan Roberts was 25-of-47 for 371 yards and three touchdowns for Yale while Robert Somborn was 20-of-39 for 238 yards and three scores for Cornell. Luke Hagy ran for 117 yards for the Big Red.

Princeton 52, Lehigh 26
Savaged by injuries a year ago, the Tigers (2-0) are back to their high-scoring ways with 92 points over their first two games. That's the most points they've had at this juncture since 1950 when they finished sixth in the AP poll. Princeton trailed, 13-10, late in the second quarter before going off on a 35-7 tear interrupted only by a 72-yard Lehigh (2-2) fumble recovery and run for a touchdown. Lehigh defeated Penn, 42-21, a week earlier. The Tigers ran for 244 yards and passed for 235 before a crowd of 15,023.
Georgetown 24, Columbia 16
There aren't many games Columbia (0-2) can circle on the schedule in red before the season as one they could or even should win but this was one of them and it got away. The Lions missed two field goals and fumbled away a kickoff at their own 21 to set up a Georgetown (2-2) touchdown as the Hoyas erased an early 10-3 deficit. Columbia outgained Georgetown 361 yards to 329 while holding the Hoys to 65 rushing yards. The game drew a crowd of 5,175.
UNH 57, Central Connecticut 14

Penn had the weekend off after defeating No. 4 Villanova on Thursday, 24-13.
