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.

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.

To say it was a disappointing start for the two-time defending Ivy League champions would be an understatement.

Penn returns many skilled players, but will have to forge on behind a relatively new offensive line

The 2011 Ivy League football season has been dubbed, “The Year of the Quarterback” by the New York Times. With each team returning a starter under center, there’s no dearth of talent calling the plays.
