Brown running back Nick Hartigan juked, twisted and pushed his way into the Bears' record book in Saturday's win over Fordham.
The senior ran for 124 yards on the day, giving him a career total of 3,347, which is he most in school history. Hartigan broke the record of 3,266, set by Michael Malan, who played for the Bears from 1999-2001. Hartigan's mark also puts him in fifth place all-time in the Ivy League record book.
His lone touchdown on the day was a special one too, as it put him in a tie for first on the school's all-time list and fourth in Ivy League history with 39.
Hartigan, the Ivy League offensive player of the Week, leads the league with 145.5 yards per game, which places him second in the nation, behind only Portland State's Joe Rubin, whose 1,005 yards in six games are good for an average of 167.5 yards per contest.
Crimson fall to pack
Harvard's meltdown against Lehigh, then the No. 11 team in the country, was understandable.
But when the No. 20 Crimson fell to Cornell on Saturday, that was a stunner.
A stunner that leaves the Ivy League race suddenly wide open.
Cornell jumped out to a 17-0 halftime lead, and held on to hand Harvard its first conference loss since falling to the Quakers in 2003.
Harvard was certainly not aided by its five turnovers -- two lost fumbles and three interceptions, and they were kept off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter.
Unranked Ivies
With the loss, the Crimson drops out of the Sports Network Top-25 poll, leaving no Ivy League teams ranked.
Not only is this the first poll all season not to feature an Ancient Eight squad, but it is also the first in quite some time.
The last time that no Ivy League team cracked the top 25 was the poll of Oct. 21, 2002, as Penn, previously ranked 24th, fell to Villanova.
This week, while no teams are ranked, Penn leads a pack of four Ivy League teams receiving votes in the poll, as Brown, Princeton and the Crimson all have votes to their names.
Shutout notes
Yale's 13-0 win over Dartmouth was notable for several reasons.
Not only was it the first time an Ivy League team had been on either end of a shutout this year, it was also the Elis' first shutout win since a 41-0 trouncing of Columbia on Oct. 28, 2000.
For the Big Green, you don't have to go back quite as far, since Dartmouth was kept off the scoreboard twice last year, including a 35-0 beatdown by the Quakers at Franklin Field.
Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens had gone his last four seasons of his first stint in Hanover, N.H. without being shut out, but managed the dubious feat in only his fourth game this time around.
Tigers take first lumps
As impressive as Princeton's undefeated record before this weekend was, perhaps more impressive was the fact that they had never trailed.
It took a full 60 minutes for the former to change, but the latter was wiped away in less than 60 seconds.
A 60-yard kickoff return by Colgate's Geoff Bean, followed by a 27-yard Jordan Scott run, set up Scott's one-yard touchdown that put the Raiders ahead 59 seconds into the game.
Colgate went on to a 16-10 victory at Princeton Stadium, as the Tigers fell for the first time.
One bright spot for Princeton was kicker Derek Javarone, whose 27-yard field goal gave him 38 for his career -- a new Princeton record.
Javarone now has six games left in his senior year to break the Ivy League mark of 41 set by Penn's Jason Feinberg, who was with the Quakers from 1997-2000.
