In the third week of this already-crazy football season, only three Ivy League teams emerged victorious, including a last minute win for Cornell
Harvard (2-1, 1-0 Ivy) fought back against Colgate (4-1) with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, only to see a last-second Erich Kutschke field goal win the game for the Red Raiders, 24-21. As for the rest of the Ivy League:
Cornell 33, Brown 28
Brown (2-1, 1-1 Ivy) had scored four straight touchdowns and entered the third quarter with a 28-7 lead before the Big Red began their comeback. Cornell's John Algeo halted the Bears' final drive with an interception, which, combined with his 65-yard fumble return for a touchdown, earned Algeo the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Week award.
Cornell kicker John McCombs completed the honors sweep for the Big Red by winning his second Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week this season with two field goals and three extra-point kicks.
Yale 17, San Diego 6
This week, Yale (2-1, 0-1 Ivy) was led by running back Rashad Bartholomew, who rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown. The Elis won despite scratching its starting quarterback, Joe Walland (sprained shoulder) and his two replacements combining to throw four interceptions. The Toreros managed just one score on a one-yard QB sneak in the second quarter.
