It’s honestly hard to know what to make of Penn football after four games.

In the end, Penn football's epic comeback happened too quickly.

Coming off a 41-20 loss in their Ivy League opener last Saturday, the Red and Blue (1-2) have one final non-conference game on tap before wrapping up their season with six consecutive Ivy contests.

Two years ago, then-sophomore quarterback Dalyn Williams thought he had led Dartmouth to a seemingly improbable win over Penn.

After a strong showing against Villanova last week, it appears the Penn football team that took down the nation's fourth-ranked team has not yet returned to campus. Penn fell 41-20 to Dartmouth on Saturday in its home and Ivy League opener.

Sometimes mental challenges are larger than physical ones, even in the game of football.

Going into the 2015 Ivy League football season, I expected a few things: Penn would be better than its underachieving final year under Al Bagnoli.

Penn football's stunning win over Villanova last Thursday earned its players some hardware this week. On Monday, sophomore wide receiver Justin Watson was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week.

It finally happened.

Villanova's star quarterback John Robertson didn’t play against the Quakers on Thursday night. And it just didn’t matter.

For Penn football, the celebration has begun. The Quakers defeated No. 4 Villanova for the first time in 104 years, giving coach Ray Priore his first win at the helm for the Red and Blue.

Penn football defeated No. 4 Villanova 24-13 on Thursday night, the Quakers’ first victory over their crosstown rivals since 1911, a span of over 37,000 days.

Wow, things are going pretty well. The Quakers, heavy underdogs in tonight’s matchup with crosstown rival Villanova, are hanging right with the No.

In case you haven’t heard, there will be a divine presence in Philadelphia this weekend. And for Penn football, that holy visit might be just the good-luck charm they need. The Quakers, fresh off a disappointing 42-21 season-opening loss to Lehigh, will travel to take on No.

If Penn football is going to buck one of the longest active losing streaks in the sport, it might actually be the squad's lack of game experience in 2015 that helps it out.
