Saturday Wrap:
Cornell 28, Harvard 24
Trailing by 10 points midway threw the fourth quarter Cornell roared back on a 34-yard touchdown run by Harold Coles with 7:03 remaining and a 33-yard TD throw from Dalton Banks to Owen Peters with 1:45 left to stun the Crimson. Aaron Shampkin ran for 191 yards for Harvard but Banks was an efficient 18-of-24 for 201 yards passing for Cornell. Two Harvard QBs were a combined 10-of-34 for 137 yards. Both teams are now 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the Ivy League. Attendance was 8,040.
Princeton 66, Lehigh 7
Tied at 7 after one quarter, the Tigers scored 45 points over the middle two quarters on the way to picking up a school-record 733 yards of total offense. Princeton passed for 391 yards and ran for 342 despite subbing out midway through the third quarter. Quarterback John Lovett passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 111 and one touchdown for the 4-0 Tigers. Lehigh is now 1-4. Attendance was 5,114.
Penn 31, Sacred Heart 27
The Pioneers climbed out of a 24-0 hole to take a 27-24 lead on a 21-yard fumble recovery with 9:54 remaining but the stunned Quakers salvaged the win with a clutch, 87-yard drive capped by a 10-yard Ryan Glover to Christian Pearson touchdown pass with 1:19 remaining. Karekin Brooks had 191 yards rushing and Glover was 15-of-20 for 162 yards and two scores for Penn. The Quakers are now 3-1 while Sacred Heart is 3-2 after losing back-to-back games to Ivy League teams. Attendance was 4,503.
Columbia 34, Marist 24
The Lions piled up 26 first downs to Marist's 12 but trailed the Foxes 21-17 midway through the third quarter. A one-yard Ty Lenhart touchdown run put Columbia ahead for good and Josh Bean followed with a 24-yard TD pass to Casey Mariucci with 48 seconds left in the third to give the Lions a little breathing room. Columbia is now 3-1 while Marist is 1-4. Attendance was 3,396.
Rhode Island 48, Brown 0
For years this was the last of the competitive games between an Ivy League school and its state school. This wasn't one of them. The Rams finished the day with 580 yards of offense while holding the Bears to 127 to win going away. Michael McGovern was just 11-for-27 for 101 yards passing for Brown and was sacked six times. No Brown running back gained more than 15 yards. Brown is now 1-3. Rhode Island is 4-1. Attendance was 6,141.
New Hampshire 28, Holy Cross 0
Starting quarterback Trevor Knight returned to the field for the first time since the opening game and helped New Hampshire score more point than it had scored all season combined. Knight completed 22-of-38 passes for 237 yards and four touchdowns. The shutout was New Hampshire's first in regular season play since 2010. Holy Cross is now 1-5 while New Hampshire is 1-4. Attendance was 6,497.
Georgetown 23, Fordham 11
The Hoyas used a couple of one-yard touchdown runs late in the third quarter and early in the fourth to claim a win in a game that was tied with the very unfootball-like score of 8-8 at the half. Neither team managed 100 yards rushing or 300 yards of total offense. Georgetown is now 2-4 while Fordham is 0-5. Attendance was 2,010.
