Yale benefited from the solid play of Bartholomew, who recorded 188 yards on 26 carries. Johnson had eight catches for 70 yards and one touchdown.
Yale 24, Fordham 17
Bartholomew ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs (4-1, 1-1 Ivy) past Fordham, 24-17.
Trailing in the third quarter, the Bulldogs called on Bartholomew to provide the offense. Breaking free for 18 yards, he gave Yale a first down deep in Ram territory and then proceeded to scamper for three yards to give the Bulldogs the lead at 21-17.
Lee completed 18-of-31 passes for 218 yards and one touchdown. His main target was Johnson, who caught eight passes for 108 yards and one touchdown.
Yale 27, Penn 24
In the opening series for the Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1 Ivy), Lee found Johnson for a 57- yard gain that broke the record. However, Johnson's day was hardly done, as he finished with a season-high 13 receptions and 172 receiving yards.
Trailing 17-14, Yale took the lead for good in the second half's opening drive. Lee drove the offense downfield and found Johnson for a 14-yard score that put the Bulldogs up 24-17.
The Yale defense then took control, punishing Penn quarterback Gavin Hoffman and disrupting the Quaker offense until the end of the game.
Yale 41, Columbia 0
It was the Yale defense that stole the show, limiting Columbia tailback Jonathan Reese to 86 yards, his lowest output of the season. With the running game nullified, the Bulldog secondary then took advantage, especially senior safety Ryan LoProto.
LoProto picked off two passes and returned both of them for touchdowns. He became the first player in Yale's history to accomplish the feat.
The Bulldog offense was led by Lee and Johnson once again. Lee passed for 164 yards and four touchdowns, while Johnson caught seven passes for 95 yards and three touchdowns. He became the first Yale receiver in eight years to catch three touchdowns in a game.
Brown 28, Yale 14
Brown controlled the game from the beginning, with the Bears returning the opening kickoff 61 yards and never looking back.
