Football Holds Destiny in Own Hands

With 1:05 remaining, Penn sophomore wide receiver Rob Milanese caught a 43-yard touchdown pass from Hoffman, to cut the lead to 14 points. Sophomore wideout Colin Smith recovered the subsequent onside kick, and 40 seconds later the Quakers were in the end zone again, as Hoffman hit junior receiver John Holahan from 10 yards out.

The Quaker team, however, was just a few miracles short, as Brown managed to recover the next Penn onside kick to preserve the victory.

Dartmouth 20, Cornell 17

After stunning come-from-behind victories against Brown and Harvard from 21 and 13-point deficits, respectively, Cornell was bound to slip up eventually.

Saturday's game at Dartmouth, however, wasn't supposed to be that close. The Big Green was coming in off of an embarrassing 44-3 loss to Yale, which ex10ded its school-record losing streak to 10 games.

Dartmouth (1-5, 1-2 Ivy) made the most of its homecoming weekend, however, as the Big Green came back from a four-point halftime deficit to defeat Cornell (4-2, 3-1 Ivy) by the score of 20-17.

Dartmouth appeared primed to make amends for last week's loss from the outset. The Big Green special teams struck first, as freshman defensive back John Campbell returned a punt blocked by senior Mike Muccio, giving the Big Green a 6-0 lead.

But Cornell stormed back to take the lead at the half. Junior receiver Joe Splendorio made the first of his two touchdown catches and senior kicker John McCombs added a 23-yard field goal to put the Big Red up 10-6.
