The losing streak, it seemed, would never end. But this weekend, after Columbia's 21-13 win over Dartmouth, the stench of the 13-game skid was washed away in orange Gatorade.
They say Chuck Bednarik, a Hall of Fame linebacker and center and a Penn grad, was the last "60-Minute Man" in football. Don't look now, but Colgate's Nate Eachus might be inheriting that throne.
There's bad luck - and then there's Columbia luck.
With 10 seconds left in Penn's 23-10 win over Dartmouth on Saturday, the Big Green offense took the field one last time - merely a formality.
There's no doubt where the game ball went after Yale's 31-28 double-overtime victory over Holy Cross.
It should have been a routine play, a no-brainer. Down just a touchdown with more than 14 minutes left to play, Dartmouth faced 4th-and-10 from its own 38. What ensued should never have decided the game.
It wasn't always edge-of-your-seat exciting, but Penn got the job done at Franklin Field this afternoon, downing Dartmouth, 23-10, for its first win of the season.
Yale and Harvard's losses on Saturday - at Cornell and at Brown, respectively - weren't just notable because those squads were pegged as the Ivy League's top two teams heading into the season.
Lafayette's last-second 8-7 victory over Penn last year, which was as ugly as it was close, showed that the Leopards are not the flashiest of football teams. They play a slow-paced game, and their big, bruising offensive line is crucial in their run-first, run-second scheme.
All eyes were on Robert Irvin on Saturday during the first quarter of Penn's matchup against Villanova, and it's not hard to imagine why.
Penn fans might best remember Norries Wilson for his "11-on-18" rant about the officiating during Penn's 16-0 victory over the Lions two years ago. But this weekend, when a penalty flag went flying during a Fordham punt, Wilson knew the blame lay 100 percent with him.
Football is a game of quick decisions. Punt or go for it? Kick the point after or go for two? Keep it or pitch it?
He is a leader on Villanova's defense and one of the team's best all-around athletes, but Salim Koroma is no stranger to being overshadowed.
It's tough to pinpoint how exactly Penn's 2007 campaign was derailed.
MANAYUNK, Pa., Sept. 6 -
The Joe Sandberg Era is officially over in the Penn backfield. But the mourning period is long over, and the first touch is less than three weeks away for the former all-Ivy running back's heir apparent.
Luis Yanez and Kimdo Bethel are pictures in contrast.
It's been a hard-luck kind of season for Penn. It lost its number-two starter, two of its everyday outfielders from last year and countless games that could have gone its way.
Adrian Thomas doesn't have a particular affinity for stealing bases. In fact, there are six Penn players who have swiped more bags than the team's newly anointed leadoff man. But the left fielder knows how to make his presence felt on the bases.
