At Franklin Field in Philadelphia, UPenn quarterback Gavin Hoffman threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns as the University of Pennsylvania demolished Dartmouth (0-3, 0-1 Ivy).
In the Ivy League opener for both teams, Penn thoroughly dominated a Dartmouth team that suffered its worse loss since a 49-7 defeat way back in 1987.
The Quakers improved to 2-1(1-0 in the conference) primarily on the strength of Hoffman's passing. In addition to the 336 yards and the four touchdowns, Hoffman completed 25 of 30 passes, including two thrown to wide receiver Rob Milanese for touchdowns. Because of his impressive statistics, Hoffman was named one of the Ivy League's Offensive Players of the Week.
The only bright spot for the Big Green was the play of wideout Damien Roomets, who entered the game as the nation's leading receiver, and caught seven passes for 113 yards.
Yale 33, Holy Cross 27
The Yale Bulldogs (2-1, 0-1) used strong offensive performances from many key players to hold off a strong Holy Cross squad.
Yale quarterback Pete Lee passed for 197 yards and 3 touchdowns and later ran it in for the game's fourth score and the first rushing touchdown of his career.
