Football's Ivy League Hopes Still Alive

Northrup garnered Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week honors with a well-rounded performance. He connected on field goals of 42, 44, and 47 yards, boomed three punts an average of 40.3 yards and made a touchdown saving tackle, which maintained the Tigers' 12-point cushion.

The only thing that Saturday's games proved was that nothing has been resolved in the Ivy League. Penn and Cornell lead the pack, but have little margin for error with Brown, Yale and Harvard all waiting to capitalize on any slip up. Virtually every game from now until season's end will be league contest, and with five teams in the running and no clear-cut favorite, the race is still wide-open.
