Yale, Penn, Brown Still Alive in Ivy League Title

On the day, Kirby Mack led all rushers with 96 yards on 14 carries, while Cornell senior QB Mike Hood led all passers, going 25-for-42 for a total of 233 yards.

Rounding out Ivy League action in Philadelphia, the Crimson became victims to Quaker revenge. Last year in Cambridge, the Crimson defeated Penn 33-0, clinching the Ivy League title. This year, however, things were a bit different, as the Quaker 41-10 win guaranteed Penn at least a share of the Ivy League Crown.

With the outright title on the line, Penn will travel to Ithaca to face Cornell. With a victory against the Big Red, the Quakers will snag their seventh outright title.

Quaker running back Finn also has the opportunity to break the school's single-season rushing record. Presently, he has netted 1,262 yards on the year, and needs only 41 more this Saturday to break Bryan Key's 1989 record of 1,302 yards.

Hoping for a Quaker loss, the Brown Bears travel to New York City, putting their five game winning streak on the line as they face Columbia. The Lions have won their last two games, and will be fighting for an even .500 season.

With a victory against Columbia and a Quaker loss, the Bears will grab a share of the Ivy League Title.

Rounding out weekend action, Yale travels north to Cambridge for The Game. Yale, winners of three of their last four, is tied for second place with an outside shot at a tie for the Ivy League Crown.

Harvard, on the other hand, has lost its last two games by a combined margin of 52 points. However, the past has shown that season performance, momentum, injuries and odds mean nothing when it comes to The Game.

Although the Ivy standings seemed to clear up a bit last weekend, four important games are left to be played. And one must always be prepared for the unexpected when it comes to Ivy League football.
