victory at Columbia Saturday afternoon.
Brown 37, Georgetown 10
WASHINGTON -- Brown returned to the D.C. area for
the first time since 2005 and turned in a dominant performance in
all facets of the game – offense, defense and special teams -

Homecoming crowd on the Georgetown campus.
Cornell 15, Bucknell 10
LEWISBURG, Pa. -- The Cornell defense, the
forgotten brother to the Big Red's explosive offense, posted its
second straight impressive game. This time, it needed every bit of
the effort. Cornell used a last-minute defensive stand to hold on
for a 15-10 victory at Bucknell on Saturday evening at Christy
Mathewson Memorial Stadium. The win helped Cornell improve to 2-1
overall, while the Bison slipped to 1-3.
