Ivy League Round-Up

Yale went three-and-out on its next possession, and Perry set out to bring his team a stunning victory.

With time ticking off the clock and a seven-point deficit, Perry completed 10-of-10 passes to lead the Bears 63 yards downfield to the end zone. On fourth down and with no timeouts left, Perry got the touchdown pass that put the Bears one point down.

Things took a turn for the bizarre when Brown lined up for the possible game-tying extra point.

Yale blocked the attempt, but Brown running back Michael Powell scooped the ball off the ground. Running toward the end zone for the two-point conversion that Brown needed for the win, Powell pitched the ball to fullback Rob Scholl, who scored to put the Bears ahead.

As if that drama were not enough, Yale had a chance to kick a game-winning field goal as time ran off the clock. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Mike Murawczyk's 47-yard attempt fell short as time expired, dooming Yale to its first defeat of the season.

Cornell 20, Princeton 3

Like Harvard, Cornell (1-0, 1-0 Ivy) sported a new look at starting quarterback this weekend.

Cornell quarterback Ricky Rahne, a sophomore making his first-ever start in a college game, finished 19-of-33 for 307 yards with two touchdowns and an interception en route to an easy 20-3 victory at Princeton (0-1, 0-1 Ivy).
