In the second quarter, the Brown offense finally got some momentum as Perry hooked up with receiver Chas Gessner for a touchdown midway through the second quarter. After a Fordham score, Perry twice managed to drive deep into Ram territory. But the Fordham defense forced Brown to kick short field goals both times, keeping the Brown lead at 13-12 at the half.
But the second half belonged to the Bears. Perry threw touchdown passes to receiver Steve Campbell and Gessner to extend the lead to 27-12.
Having nearly blown three-touchdown leads in both of their last two games, the Bears made sure they finished off the Rams. Brown added a field goal and Perry hit Gessner for his third touchdown catch of the day as the Bears went on to win 37-18.
Cornell 31, Wagner 14
For the Seahawks, the only bright spot--and just about their only offensive production on the day--was a 63-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, Rahne threw his 16th touchdown pass of the season, breaking the Cornell single-season record.
Leading 31-7 after the third quarter, the Big Red sent in their reserves in the fourth and held on for a 31-14 victory.
