Penn 45, Lafayette 28

Penn secured its 725th victory in school history this weekend by defeating Lafayette (1-2) in front of a home crowd in Philadelphia. The Quakers (1-1, 0-0 Ivy) took a quick 24-7 lead against their fellow Pennsylvania counterparts, with Gavin Hoffman reaching the 300-yard plateau in passing for the second straight week. Hoffman completed 24 of 34 attempts, including a four-yard pass to Doug O'Neill in the closing minutes to seal the victory.

After jumping out to a 38-7 lead late in the third quarter, the Quakers almost lost control of a commanding lead when an interception by Kenya Allen of the Leopards set up a Chad Ritchie to Stewart Kupfer two-yard TD to bring Lafayette to within ten points. However, Hoffman struck back with an 80-yard scoring drive to end the game. Harvard plays Lafayette next week in Easton, PA.
