It has been an unforgettable year for the Yale football team (6-0 Ivy, 8-1 overall), which hasn't won an Ivy title since 1981. The Elis have been as faithful to the wishbone offense as Columbia has been to losing. On defense, Yale has dominated the Ivy League. For 25-year Coach Carm Cozza, life is good.

Here's a recap of the 1989 Yale season:

September 16: The Elis show off the wishbone against Brown at Yale Bowl and produce some impressive results. Yale controls the football for 40 minutes, as it triumphs, 12-3.

Quarterback Darin Kehler rushes for 133 yards and throws for 109 more to led the Elis. Running back Chris Kouri scores the only touchdown of the game.

September 23: The high-flying Lehigh Engineers march into New Haven thinking about a rout, but the wishbone stops them. Yale wins, 33-17.

Kehler continues to astound, this time collecting 168 yards on the ground. Oh, he also threw for 130 yards.

Lehigh loses the ball on two crucial plays early in the game, and the Elis attack to take a 10-0 lead.

This is getting to be a lot of fun.

September 30: Fun's over. But for just a week.

Despite throwing four interceptions, Connecticut quarterback Matt DeGennaro still musters enough fire-power to lead the Huskies to a 31-20 win over the Elis in New Haven.

After Kouri gives Yale an early lead with a 1-yd. touchdown run, UConn rolls off 31 unanswered points. The bragging rights for the Constitution State still belongs to the squad from Storrs.

October 7: Playing its fourth consecutive game at Yale Bowl, the Elis return to their winning ways, defeating Colgate, 36-15.

This time, the defense shines, as Chris Rutan blocks a punt in the third quarter and Rich Huff recovers the ball for a 35-yd. touchdown.

Yale goes on to score 26 more points in the second half. This can't be true.

October 14: Proving that it really doesn't matter where they play, the Elis spoil Dartmouth's Homecoming in Hanover, N.H., with a 24-19 victory over the Green.
