The start of November is an eventful time for Penn Athletics. With fall sports wrapping up and winter sports beginning, there is no other time quite so exciting for the Quakers. With that in mind, let's take a look back at important events that occurred this week in Penn sports history.

On Saturday, Penn (3-4, 1-3 Ivy) will look to collect its second Ivy League win of the season against a last-place Cornell (1-6, 0-4) squad. 

So far this season, Penn football has struggled to get momentum going, with its record through seven games at a middling 3-4. However, there have been a number of bright spots, especially from players -- freshman and sophomores alike — who had yet to see game action before this season.

Penn football’s (3-4, 1-3 Ivy) 45-17 dominant victory over Brown (2-5, 1-3) was a joy to watch. But, we should also be careful not to overreact to a blowout of a Bears team that has allowed 40+ points for five out of seven contests this season.

In only his second collegiate start, quarterback Aidan Sayin broke out against Brown, leading an offense that couldn’t be stopped, as the Quakers routed the Bears by a score of 45-17.   

Looking to replicate their dramatic come-from-behind victory that ignited their season two years ago, the Penn Quakers are hosting the Brown Bears this Saturday at Franklin Field. 

As the 2021-22 NFL season continues on to its eighth week, let’s look in on some fellow Penn alumni and their work in the league.

In the past game against the Yale Bulldogs, watching freshman starting quarterback Aidan Sayin play made something clear: this problem with recovery isn’t limited to Quinnelly and his play style. It’s rooted in the whole team.

 Even with a new quarterback taking snaps for the Quakers (2-4, 0-3 Ivy),  Yale (3-3, 2-1) accumulated an impressive 42 points to the Quakers' 21.  

The Daily Pennsylvanian asked Owen Goldsberry of Penn men's football 15 questions about his sport, his time at Penn, and what he’s learned as a Penn student athlete. Here’s what the senior had to say. 

Sitting at 0-2 in Ivy League play, the Quakers (2-3) are faced with an uphill climb in conference standings as they prepare for their matchup against the Yale Bulldogs (2-3, 1-1 Ivy) this Saturday, Oct. 23. 

Brandon Copeland, current linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons and former Quaker, spoke to Penn student-athletes on his success with monetizing his brand and how an athlete looking to take advantage of these new opportunities can do the same.

The Daily Pennsylvanian sat down with Penn football's Jason McCleod Jr. to ask him 15 questions about his career, his time at Penn, and his personal life outside of football. Here is what Jason had to say:

Time and time again in the college football ranks, Penn running backs coach David Sims has learned that it’s not just about what you know, it’s about who you know.

Sports associate Andrea Mendoza argues that Penn football needs to shift its priorities to next season by playing younger players now. 

Coming off a strong performance against Lehigh at home last week, the Quakers traveled to New York City to take on the 4-1 Columbia Lions during their homecoming weekend. The Quakers showed flashes of dominance, but were unable to piece together a complete performance, as they fell to the Lions, 23-14. 

In their second Ivy League conference match-up, the Quakers (2-2, 0-1 Ivy) are preparing to face the Columbia Lions (3-1, 0-1) at their homecoming this Saturday, Oct. 16.
