As this week’s film session will no doubt show, the victory had its fair share of mistakes. • Recap: Quakers shut out the lights in Hanover

Ivy rags recap the weekend that was in (academically) elite football.

That the Quakers flawlessly handled the two-minute drill twice Saturday bodes extremely well for the rest of the season.

Quarterback Billy Ragone led a late comeback as Penn extended its Ivy League win streak to 16 games.

With a 15-game Ivy League win streak on the line, Penn heads to Dartmouth to play the first-ever night game in the 89-year history of Memorial Field — on national television.

Every league game, starting with Dartmouth Saturday, is win or go home. One off day means sharing a trophy; two bad games and it’s better luck next year.

For left-hadned Ragone and the rest of the Penn offense, the minor adjustments to a righty’s game of football have become a nonfactor.

Though the Quakers are just two games into the season, junior quarterback Billy Ragone isn’t giving his team a chance to win, and it’s time to make a switch.

There have been many reasons why the Quakers have failed to pull out a win against the Wildcats in the last 100 years, but this time it was Penn’s starkly one-dimensional offense.

Quarterback Billy Ragone throws two costly interceptions, as Penn loses second game of 2011 season.

Penn football lost its fair share of standouts to graduation, but cross-town rival Villanova has taken an even bigger hit while the world of professional sports — not just the NFL — just got a little more talented.

A group of Philadelphia businessmen and members of Bednarik’s family started a fundraising campaign in 2010 to pay for the statue, which will cost $100,000.

Saturday, for the first time in 51 years, it was not C.T. Alexander who held the position of Franklin Field’s public address announcer and the honor of relaying the game’s details to thousands of fans. It was the retired C.T.’s son, John.

Interestingly, our own Ivy League has to be the most stable athletic conference in the history of athletic conferences.

Despite being used only situationally, Aaron Bailey ranked fifth on the team in all-purpose yardage. His playmaking ability could have been helpful in Penn’s quest for a third-straight Ivy title.

The truth is that the Quakers were not out-coached, but rather exposed by an underdog Lafayette team led by a quarterback making his first collegiate start.
