PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Ivy League football season rolls on with another Saturday six-pack of games on the Week 4 schedule.
Two conference contests pepper the slate with Yale hosting Dartmouth and Harvard welcoming Cornell. In non-League action, Columbia is on the road for the first time this season at Lehigh, Brown makes the short trip to take on in-state rival Rhode Island for the Governor’s Cup, Penn is back at Franklin Field to take on William & Mary and Princeton plays its second-straight road game, this week under the lights at Lafayette.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Harvard senior quarterback Colton Chapple
(Alpharetta, Ga.) accounted for five touchdowns (four passing, one
rushing) as the Crimson set a modern era record for points in a
half (49) in a 52-3 win over Holy Cross. Despite torrential
rain, Chapple completed 13-of-18 passes for 260 yards with
touchdown passes of 10, 35, 14 and 19 yards. He added a three-yard
rushing touchdown in the second quarter.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Brown junior defensive end Michael Yules (South
Dartmouth, Mass.) led a Bears' defense that held Georgetown to one
yard of total offense in the second half and zero first downs after
halftime in a 37-10 win. Yules totalled five tackles overall,
including three solo hits, with two quarterback sacks for a loss of
13 yards and added another tackle for a loss. He played a major
role in an incredible goal line stand that set the tone for the
game. With Georgetown on a first and goal at the Brown one-inch
line, Yules stopped two different Hoyas on first and second downs
down for no gain. After a Bears' stop on third down, Georgetown was
forced to kick a field goal.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Princeton freshman placekicker Nolan Bieck (Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.) posted a perfect day for Tigers in a 33-6 win
over Columbia. Bieck connected on field goals from distances of 34,
20, 29 and 24 yards as well as converting all four of his PAT
attempts. He became the first Princeton player to hit more than
three field goals in a game since the 2010 season opener.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Princeton freshman defensive back/return specialist/wide receiver
Anthony Gaffney (Columbus, N.J.) had a big impact
in two of three phases in the Tigers' Ivy-opening victory at
Columbia. Gaffney electrified the crowd in the first 11 seconds of
the game, taking the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown. He
also make his presence known on the defensive side of the ball with
two second-half interceptions, the first two of his career.
