Football Weekend Wrap-Up - October 27
Columbia 26, Yale 22
[YES]
NEW YORK -- The last time Columbia defeated Yale
in football, the current seniors on the Columbia football team were
10 years old. But Patricia and Shepard Alexander Head Coach
of Football Pete
Mangurian has said since his initial press
conference last December, this Columbia football team would leave
the past behind. While rebuilding is a process, the team showed
fight, toughness and grit, shedding the past and defeating Yale for
the first time since 2001, 26-22, on Saturday at Robert K. Kraft
Field.
Cornell 37, Princeton 35 [TIME
WARNER]
ITHACA, N.Y. -- John Wells was
able to walk off the field a hero. Wells, who earlier in the day
had missed both a field goal and an extra-point kick that looked
like it might be the difference in the game late into the fourth
quarter, drilled a 23-yard attempt with 50 seconds left in the game
to give Cornell a 37-35 shootout victory over Princeton on Saturday
afternoon at Schoellkopf Field.
Penn 20, Brown 17
PHILADELPHIA -- Sophomore kicker Connor
Loftus connected on two field goals in the final 1:25 of
play - the first from a career-long 45 yards to tie the game, the
second from 30 yards out with 17 seconds to play - as the
University of Pennsylvania football team downed Brown, 20-17, in
front of an ecstatic Homecoming crowd of 13,569 at Franklin Field
Saturday afternoon.

[CSNNE]
HANOVER, N.H. -- Treavor Scales
rushed for three touchdowns as 24th-ranked Harvard held off
Dartmouth by a score of 31-14 Saturday night at Memorial Field.
