Additionally, the line's inability to open up holes for the running game made the one-dimensional offense easy to stop for the powerful Red Raiders.

One bright spot was the play of junior wide receiver Joe Splendorio, whose 65 yards on three catches allowed Cornell to hang in for the first half. Despite the lopsided loss, the Big Red still remains in the driver's seat in the conference with its undefeated league record.

Meanwhile, up-and-coming Yale (4-1, 1-1) jumped back into the Ivy race with a one-sided 44-3 victory over winless Dartmouth (0-5, 0-2). Late in the second quarter, the Big Green trailed just 10-3 when the Eli converted a crucial 4th down keeping alive a drive deep in Dartmouth territory. After Yale senior quarterback Joe Walland capped the drive with a 13 yard scoring strike before the half, the rout was on.

Walland ended up passing for 287 yards, also keeping the Big Green defense off-balance with 42 yards rushing with a touchdown.

Though the offense piled up 512 yards on the day, it was the defense that made a statement. The Bulldogs tallied eight sacks, as well as a defensive touchdown on junior defensive back Todd Tomich's interception return.

Dartmouth's three points for the game gives it a total of 36 in five games, by far the lowest total in the conference. The Big Green is now just searching for a win while Yale will have a chance to take over first place as it plays both Penn and Cornell in the next three weeks.

In New Jersey, Princeton enjoyed a non-league contest win over Lafayette by the count of 22-10. The Tigers (2-3, 0-2) saw the emergence of sophomore quarterback Tommy Crenshaw who went 21-of-35 through the air for 218 yards and a touchdown. All of these numbers were career highs for Crenshaw, whose consistent play helped Princeton to extend its dominance over Lafayette in their series, running its record to 32-2-3.

The Tigers balanced their attack with 147 yards rushing from senior running back Derek Thiesan, 102 yards receiving from senior wideout Danny Brian and seven catches from senior receiver Phil Wendler. However, the most impressive Tiger performance actually came from the sophomore kicker/punter Taylor Northrup.
