Game 7: Brown - The good, bad and the ugly

 

The 18-game Ivy winning streak and quest for an unprecedented undefeated three-peat went out the window today when Brown shutout Penn 6-0 in Providence, R.I. That said, the Quakers still control their own destiny and, if they can win out, will at the very least share the title with Brown and Harvard.

The Good: ...

The Bad: Three interceptions thrown by Penn, five fumbles coughed up and two recovered by Brown. The conditions were surely a major factor, but in the end, they were a non-factor because it rained just as hard during Brown's offensive sets. Both the Penn fumbles recovered by the Bears were in Brown territory, killing near scoring chances. Gotta cover up the ball when it's wet.

The Ugly: We could talk about the variety of streak that came to an end or records that weren't broken, but that's tired by now. If you thought the conditions were bad at Penn-Brown, check out these shots from Yale-Columbia and Cornell-Princeton:
