It was Yale's first deficit since the opening week of the season.
But Yale battled back and quickly kicked a pair of field goals to get on the scoreboard.
For the next three quarters, both teams managed drives into the red zone, but could not get the ball into the zone that really mattered.
In four trips to the red zone in the first half, Yale managed only 13 points. Their ineptitude was highlighted by a fumble on the one.
Penn, meanwhile, wasn't any better.
The Quakers were held without a touchdown for the rest of the game.
Running back Kris Ryan led Penn with 166 yards on 34 carries, but he was unable to run the ball when it really counted.
With 1st-and-goal from the six and only nine minutes left in the game, the Bulldogs held the Quakers to just one yard on three plays. Jason Feinberg kicked the 22-yard field goal, his fourth of the day, to put Penn up 19-16.
