Yale 27, Penn 24
In the Ivy League's closest contest of the week, Johnson gave the Bulldogs a 7-3 lead in the second quarter when he caught a 57-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Peter Lee.
After Yale returned a blocked punt for a touchdown, Penn closed the first half with two touchdown drives, the last capped by a quarterback sneak from Gavin Hoffman, giving the Quakers a 17-13 halftime lead.
Yale dominated in the second half though, holding onto the ball for over 22 minutes and adding two field goals and a touchdown to take the lead for the remainder of then game. Hoffman added a late touchdown pass to end the day's scoring.
Johnson, with 172 yards on 13 receptions, set a new school record for career reception yards with 1,712, surpassing the mark of 1,554 yards by former Bulldog and NFL receiver John Spagnolia.
Yale attempts to build upon its four-game winning streak on Saturday against Columbia in New Haven.
