The Ivy League weekend kicked off Friday night with Princeton visiting Harvard in an ESPNU broadcast . . .
Princeton 37, Harvard 10
The highly anticipated rematch of the teams involved in last year's controversial five-overtime Princeton victory was a good game.
For a half.
Leading just 14-10 heading into the break, the 23rd-ranked Tigers used their big-play offense to outscore the Crimson in the second half, 23-0, to win going away.
Andrei Iosivas scored the game's first points for Princeton on a 61-yard flea flicker from Blake Stenstrom and went on to catch nine passes for a career-high 176 yards for the Tigers, now 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Ivy League. Dylan Classi, part of Princeton's dynamic one-two receiving punch, had three catches for 59 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Blake Stenstrom was 18-for-27 for 278 yards with three touchdowns for the Tigers while also running for 60 yards. Freshman Ryan Butler led the ground game with 80 yards and one score on 20 carries.
Harvard (4-2, 2-1 Ivy) got 96 yards rushing on 15 carries from Aidan Borguet with Kym Wimberly pulling in 11 passes for 78 yards. Charlie Dean was 20-of-32 for 186 yards for the Crimson.
Attendance at Harvard Stadium was 10,793.

EXTRA POINT
On the road just south of Hartford, Conn., in the first hours of a long down and back . . .
Got the latest COVID booster shot yesterday and my right arm is a little sore but I'm left-handed so that's the way I planned it. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut about how I'm feeling because when I got my very first vaccine I yakked about how I had no side effects and within hours I was on my back on the couch feeling it. Interestingly, I got another COVID shot the day before the Harvard game last year.
