Three road games, two home games and a potential Ivy title. That’s all that’s left for Penn football as it moves into the second half of the 2016 campaign.
A year removed from a fifth-place, 5-9 conference finish, Penn basketball has been tapped to finish fourth in the 2016-17 preseason Ivy League media poll. The Quakers, behind Princeton (130), Harvard (123) and Yale (101) in the poll, received 72 votes total while the first-place votes were split between Princeton (12) and Harvard (5).
The final stretch of Ivy play approaches for Penn Athletics’ fall teams. The sports editors debate: Who is the MVP of the fall thus far?
The most interesting thing about this weekend’s Penn-Columbia football game is going to be the memories. Lord knows it won’t be the game itself. But as former Quakers coach Al Bagnoli makes his return to University City, it bears reflecting on what’s changed in the since Ray Priore took over Penn football.
This weekend, for the first of four times, Penn Athletics will be hosting a fan fest before a sporting event. On Saturday at 1 PM, before Penn football kicks off against Columbia at 3 PM, Shoemaker Green will play host to students, alumni and fans as the Quakers try to build hype around former Penn coach Al Bagnoli’s return to Franklin Field. The event will be co-sponsored by the Daily Pennsylvanian.
Penn football looks good right now. After the Quakers started off 0-2, the Dartmouth game was over before halftime, and Central Connecticut State proved to be the non-conference softie we suspected they might be.
Until two weeks ago, Penn men’s soccer had drawn the most matches in the country. Almost entirely unbeaten, the Quakers were also winless. Then the floodgates opened.
Gone, but not forgotten.
In recent years, Ivy League volleyball has trended toward two stratifications: the four teams at the top and the four at the bottom. This weekend, Penn solidified its status among the top tier.
It’s hard not to draw parallels.
Last year, Dartmouth football came to University City and put the Ivy League on notice. They trounced the Quakers, 42-20, on the backs of standout performances from quarterback Dalyn Williams and wide receiver Victor Williams.
One of the worst things a quarterback can do is spend too much time trying to make a decision in the pocket. With the weapons at the disposal of Penn football’s Alek Torgersen, there’s undoubtedly a heightened risk of that pitfall.
Army sprint football has lost one game since 2011. On Oct. 23, 2015, that almost changed.
“There was this little outside hitter who killed the ball every time the game was on the line. She was like a pressure person. ... It’s the same way that she is now.”
When you look at other schools and other models, the one thing that unifies a lot of people is sports,” said College senior and Class Board SAS Chair Werner Glass.
The Quakers made a statement on Saturday but returned home needing to ask themselves some questions.
If last year was a tale of two seasons for Penn football, Saturday was a tale of two halves.
After falling just short of its first league title since 2010, Penn sprint football returns much of its starting defense from 2015. So coach Bill Wagner isn’t going to need to bring in too much untested talent.
“Mike isn’t even here tonight — he’s president of an a cappella group — he’s gotta audition people, he’s doing that and he can throw the ball 60 yards.”
Two games. Four goals. Four scorers. Two wins.
