Your Sunday Ivy League roundup:
Penn 38, Brown 28
The Quakers took a 28-7 lead early in the third quarter on the way to their first Ivy League win of the season in front of 5,071 in Providence. With the starter hurt, Liam O'Brien completed 18-of-24 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns to lead Penn. He also ran for 60 yards and one score. Jared Richardson hauled in seven passes for 113 yards and one TD for the Quakers (3-4, 1-3). Jake Willcox was 24-for-34 for 260 yards with two TDs for Brown (3-4, 2-2).
Cornell 49, Princeton 35
The Big Red built leads of 28-0 and 49-14 before Princeton made the score more respectable with three fourth-quarter touchdowns, the last with 14 seconds left. Jameson Wang led Cornell (3-4, 202) with 262 yards passing and three touchdowns while hitting 23-of-30 throws. Samuel Musungu caught eight of those passes for 165 yards and one TD.

And Friday night:
Columbia 13, Yale 10
Lions' quarterback Cole Freeman hit wide receiver Bryson Canty with a 44-yard touchdown pass with 4:39 remaining last night to end Yale's hopes of an Ivy League three-peat. Canty caught five passes for 107 yards as Columbia improved to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Ivy League in front of a crowd of 3,560 in New York City. Yale, which had won two in a row since falling to Dartmouth in overtime by one point, slipped to 4-3 and 1-3. No three-loss team has ever won a share of the Ivy League title.
And in games featuring Dartmouth's nonconference opponents:
• Fordham got off the schneid with a 20-14 win over Colgate. The Rams are now 1-8 while 'Gate falls to 2-7.
• Central Connecticut improved to 4-5 with a 24-14 win over 4-6 Wagner.
• Merrimack (4-5) dropped a 6-0 decision at Robert Morris (6-3), which registered its second shutout in as many weeks.

EXTRA POINT
Griffin the Wonder Dog's dinner time is 5:30 and believe me, he knows it. When he wanders by to remind us it's time to dine he's seldom off by more than a couple of minutes. It's really quite amazing.
The clock change is going to take him a little adjustment but he'll get there. He always does. ;-)
