PRINCETON, N.J. -- The frenzy of the 2012 Ivy League football continues with another foursome of games on the Week 7 schedule.
Coming off a weekend of dramatic finishes and close contests, this weekend sets up to be another unsettling Saturday with Yale traveling to Columbia for the second-straight year, Princeton putting its four-game winning streak on the line at Cornell, Brown and Penn meeting for the 81st time and Harvard looking to rebound against Dartmouth under the lights at Memorial Field.
The Ivy title race is still at full speed with Princeton sitting in the driver's seat after their stunning win over the Crimson. Dartmouth and Penn are close behind, each with one League loss, along with Harvard.
Three of the four League games are on television with Yale-Columbia on the YES Network, Princeton-Cornell on Time Warner Sports Central New York and Harvard-Dartmouth on ComcastSportsNet Northeast.
"Inside Ivy League Football," hosted by Dan
Loney and Brian Seltzer, returns for its
seventh episode on Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m., featuring
interviews with Princeton sophomore quarterback Connor
Michelsen, Yale senior wide receiver/quarterback
Derek Russell and NBC Sports' Randy
Moss.
"Inside Ivy League Football" is a weekly online radio
show that takes an in-depth look at all the on-field gridiron
action and all the news and notes surrounding football in the
Ancient Eight. The 10-episode show airs Wednesdays at 7 p.m. on
BlogTalkRadio.com (blogtalkradio.com/insideivyleaguefootball) and is
available on-demand via BlogTalkRadio and IvyLeagueSports.com.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Princeton sophomore quarterback Connor Michelsen
(Plano, Texas) had the game, more specifically the quarter, of a
lifetime in leading the Tigers to a stunning 39-34 upset of Harvard
to end the Crimson's FCS-best, 14-game winning streak. Michelsen
guided Princeton on a fourth-quarter run of 29 unanswered points,
throwing three touchdown passes (the first of his career) and
engineered two successful two-point conversions. In fourth quarter
alone, he was 11-of-17 for 153 yards and converted on all three
third-down attempts. Michelsen ended the day with 237 passing
yards, connecting on 20 of his 33 passing attempts, and 42 rushing
yards.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth junior linebacker Bronson Green (Los
Angeles) was one of three Big Green players to make 10 stops in the
21-16 road win at Columbia. Green's biggest tackle came on a
third-and-one play in the fourth quarter with Dartmouth clinging to
a four-point lead. He stuffed Columbia's Sean
Brackett on a quarterback keeper that led to a 42-yard
field goal attempt, which failed to split the uprights. The 10
tackles were a season high for Green.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Yale senior placekicker/punter Philippe Panico
(Boston) connected on two of three field attempts, including a
career-long 43 yarder, to help the Bulldogs to a 27-13 win over
Penn. Panico also booted a 42-yard field goal late in the third
quarter to make it a 10-point lead. He hit all three of his PAT
attempts and had one of his six kickoffs go down as a touchback.
Panico also recorded a tackle, assisting on a special teams stop in
the third quarter.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Yale freshman quarterback Logan Scott (Woodland
Hills, Calif.) shared time behind center with senior Derek
Russell, replacing injured starter Eric
Williams, and helped guide the Bulldogs to a key touchdown
in the win over Penn. Scott capped an 11-play, 59-yard scoring
drive with a four-yard touchdown pass with 18 seconds left to put
Yale up 10-7 going into halftime. On the day, he completed eight of
11 passes for 64 yards.
