The game that shook up the Ivy League standings is covered from the angle of the winning Penn team in the Daily Pennsylvanian, and the losing Harvard team in The Crimson.STATS writes of the Penn-Harvard game:
The team of the week is Penn for its 35-25 victory over Harvard, which ended the Crimson's then-FCS-high 22-game winning streak. It protected the Quakers' Ivy League records for consecutive overall wins (24) and league wins (20), and, more importantly, moved first-year coach Ray Priore's team into a first-place tie with Harvard and Dartmouth. Penn has the easiest finish next Saturday, hosting a Cornell team that just won its first game, while Dartmouth hosts Princeton and Harvard heads to rival Yale.
