Brown, the Ivy League's defending league champion and Harvard's next opponent, picked up from where it left off last season, defeating non-league San Diego 36-20.

Making his first varsity start, senior quarterback Eric Webber had little trouble adjusting to the Bears' offensive system. Webber threw for 340 yards and three touchdowns, completing 27 of his 38 passes. Junior tailback Michael Malan complemented Webber on the ground, tallying 183 rushing yards including a 16-yard TD.

Colgate 42, Dartmouth 24

Dartmouth did not fare as well in its opener, falling 42-24 to Colgate. After fumbling on its first two offensive positions, the Big Green yielded 21 points before it was able to find the end zone. But by that time, it was too little too late for Dartmouth.

Two more turnovers spoiled any hope of a comeback, and the loss put a damper on the Green's hopes of bettering last year's dismal 2-8 season.

Bucknell 38, Cornell 15

Cornell, who hosts Yale this week, could not keep up with Bucknell to commence its football season. The Big Red lost 38-15 to fall to 0-1 on the early season. While Cornell only managed a total 26 yards on the ground as a team, Bucknell's Jabu Powell ran for 282 total yards and three touchdowns. As a result, Powell had more than 10 times the rushing yards of Cornell's entire squad.
