Ivy League action kicked off last night on ESPNU . . .
Princeton 35, Brown 19
Trailing 28-10 midway through the fourth quarter, Brown (2-3, 0-2 Ivy League) used a field goal and a touchdown pass just over three minutes apart to close within nine points only to see the Tigers (5-0, 2-0) use a 49-yard touchdown run by Ryan Butler to slam the door. Brown quarterback Jake Wilcox threw a whopping 61 passes, completing 41 for 339 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Princeton’s Blake Stenstrom was an efficient 19-of-27 for 258 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Dylan Classi had nine catches for 169 yards and two scores for Princeton while Hayes Sutton caught 11 passes for 70 yards for Brown. Princeton’s Liam Johnson led both teams with 15 tackles in a game played before 5,838 in New Jersey.

Green Alert Take: A couple of corrections. Princeton is most assuredly not on the Banks of the Raritan and the self-annointed czar might want to rethink Dartmouth's priority this week.

If you have’t figured it out yet, UConn coach Jim Mora is a Jake Guidone '21 fan. The lede of a Journal Inquirer story (LINK):
After taking over the UConn football program in November 2021, Jim Mora made it a priority to find a veteran center to plug in alongside stalwart guard Christian Haynes on the Huskies’ much-maligned offensive line. So he scoured the transfer portal and found Jake Guidone, who began his career at Dartmouth College.
Guidone, Haynes, and the Huskies have been a match made in heaven.
