Last year when the Bears and the Quakers hooked up, the two teams racked up an Ivy League-record 109 points in Brown's 58-51 victory.

With many players from last year's contest still remaining, this season's encore presentation proved to be no disappointment. The two teams combined for 983 yards of total offense and 81 points as the Bears (5-1, 3-1 Ivy) once again downed the Quakers (3-3, 2-1 Ivy), this time by a final score of 44-37.

Brown senior quarterback James Perry--who broke the Ivy League career records in touchdown passes and completions last week--needed just 255 yards to break the Ivy League career yardage mark going into the game. Perry proved once again why he may be one of the Ivy League's best quarterbacks ever, as he threw for a career-high 440 yards and 5 touchdown passes, passing the career mark in style.

In the early going it appeared as if whichever team had the ball last would win, as the Bears and the Quakers scored at will.

Five minutes into the second half Penn scored a TD to cut the Brown lead to 28-23. The Quaker offense, led by quarterback Gavin Hoffman (22-for-39, 343 yards, 2 TD) and sophomore running back Kris Ryan (19-for-84 yards, 2 TD), was able to match the Brown offense blow-for-blow.

But then in the fourth quarter, the Bear defense finally stepped up, stopping the Quakers on consecutive drives.

With the defense coming up big, wide receiver Steve Campbell (10-for-190 yards, 4 TD) and Perry broke the game wide open for the Bears. Campbell caught a 41-yard touchdown pass from Perry at the end of the 3rd quarter and then caught another--his fourth of the day--with 7:52 left in the game, to give Brown a seemingly insurmountable 44-23 lead.

Brown--which blew a 28-7 lead against Cornell three weeks ago and narrowly missed blowing a 27-3 lead against URI last week--was far from having the game won.
