Around the Ivy: Yale, Brown in First with Two Weeks Left

A pair of field goals for each team accounted for all the scoring in the first half. In the third quarter, however, Penn struck three times in the span of 5:14 to put the Tigers (3-5, 1-4) away.

Sophomore Rob Milanese scored the team's first touchdown when he caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Gavin Hoffman.

Later in the same quarter, with the Quakers leading 20-6 and the Tigers' starting quarterback Tommy Crenshaw knocked out of the game with an injury, Williams intercepted backup Princeton quarterback Jon Blevins and ran 41 yards for the score.

Williams, the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week, later intercepted Blevins a second time in the final minute of play. After catching the ball in his own end zone, Williams trudged 100 yards in the other direction for the touchdown, tying an NCAA record.

Led by the play of Williams, the Penn defense was the story of the game. The Quakers sacked the two Princeton quarterbacks eight times, and picked off three passes. Additionally, the Tigers were held to just 85 yards on the ground.

Fresh off this impressive drubbing of Princeton, Pennsylvania will travel to Harvard this weekend to take on the Crimson at The Stadium.
