Harvard Football Remains in Four-way Tie On Top

After playing to a scoreless first quarter, Princeton finally broke the game open with three big plays for touchdowns. First, a 33-yard pass from Crenshaw to Chisom Opara finished off a 10-play, 73-yard drive for the Tigers. Then, on the second play of their next drive, Brandt broke free down the right sideline for a 54-yard touchdown run.

After the Princeton defense buried Columbia deep in their own end on the next possession, Brandt returned a punt all the way to the Lion 35. From there, Crenshaw hit Marty Cheathem in the end zone to put the Tigers up 21-0.

With Columbia's offense unable to get anything going, there was little chance of a comeback. The Lions finally got on the board in the third quarter when they scored on a fake punt as punter Ryan Kiernan threw a 50-yard touchdown pass.

That fake punt, however, was Columbia's only offensive bright spot on a day where the Lions managed just 29 yards rushing. Kiernan, the punter, nearly threw for as many yards as starting quarterback Jeff McCall, who had just 88 yards passing.

Brown 37, Fordham 18

After last week's dramatic victory over previously Ivy-unbeaten Penn, Brown was ripe for a letdown against winless Fordham.

Early on, it looked as if the Rams might have a chance in this game as Bear turnovers set up easy scoring opportunities for Fordham. But the Brown defense was able to shut Fordham down in the red zone, keeping the Ram lead at 6-0 after the first quarter.

Brown quarterback James Perry, after playing the game of his life last week against Penn, was only 1-for-7 with 2 yards in the first quarter.
