Colgate 23, Cornell 16

Backup quarterback Josh Kirklin guided the Red Raiders of Colgate to a non-league win over Cornell (2-3, 2-0) in the first night game at Ithaca since 1993.

Starter Tom McCune left the game in the first quarter with a hand injury and Kirklin took over. The Red Raiders took some time to fire on all cylinders, and Cornell led 9-7 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Kirklin and the Red Raiders began a drive down the field, highlighted by a 32-yard run to the Cornell six-yard line by Colgate running back Randall Joseph. Kirklin took the ball in, after a penalty, for the go-ahead score.

Joseph was responsible for clinching the game for the Red Raiders, as his 60-yard TD run with 2:25 remaining in the fourth put Colgate up, and out of reach, 23-9.

Yale 24, Fordham17

The Bulldogs of Yale recorded a come-from-behind win against Fordham, 24-17.

Fordham put the first points of the game up on the board after a Yale fumble at their own 41. Fordham converted the turnover into a touchdown, with QB Mike Mucci hitting Javarus Dudley on a 29-yard pass.

Rashad Bartholomew would knock in the first Yale score from the one-yard line after a long and halting drive. On that drive, a 30-yard TD pass was called back for holding and Yale nearly stalled out at the Fordham 32 when it faced a third-and-14. Yale QB Peter Lee connected with wide receiver Eric Johnson 16 yards downfield for the first down and kept the drive alive.
