The Quakers football team got its season off to a strong start with a 21-11 win to spoil the opening of Lafayette's new stadium today.
Sophomore QB Robert Irvin got the start over junior Bryan Walker, who played in several games last season.
Senior RB Joe Sandberg had 166 yards and two touchdowns over 24 carries. His 36-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter gave the Quakers a 10-point lead that proved impossible for the Leopards to overcome.
With the win, Penn head coach Al Bagnoli picked up his 100th career victory. He is now 24 wins behind George Woodruff, who coached between 1892 and 1901 and won two national championships, for the University's all-time record.
