Penn 41, Brown 38

Penn (4-3, 3-1) remained tied atop the Ivy League standings with a last second, come-from-behind win over Brown (4-3, 1-3).

With 40 seconds remaining in the game, Penn quarterback Gavin Hoffman connected on a seven-yard TD pass to wide receiver Rob Milanese.

That touchdown was the last score during an improbable and impressive Penn comeback that began with just five minutes and four seconds remaining and the Quakers trailing, 38-20.

Beginning a drive on his own 39-yard line, Hoffman tossed a 48-yard pass to Milanese and later connected with Jason Battung on an eight-yard score to cut the Bears' lead to 11.

Penn's defense forced Brown to punt, and the Quaker offense returned to the field with less than four minutes left on the clock. On a quick drive, Hoffman hit wideout Doug O'Neil on a long pass before taking the ball into the endzone on a one-yard quarterback scramble with 2:49 remaining in the game.
