One-third. That’s what will be important to keep in mind this fall: Penn football may have won the Ivy League title last season in an unexpected comeback, but they only won a third of it.

Tommy Rothman, Sports Editor, Daily Pennsylvanian: You recently committed to Penn.

After falling just short of their first league title since 2010, Penn sprint football returns much of its starting defense from 2015.

It only took 12 minutes for freshman Kitty Qu to get the signal to put on her gloves. After her team went two goals down just minutes after the season-opening whistle, Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke called up the untested newcomer for her first taste of collegiate soccer. That was over two weeks ago, and Qu has played every minute of action since. “It’s cool for me because it’s taking a lot of responsibility as a freshman,” the Foster City, Calif., native said. In the three games that followed that opening 3-1 loss to Maryland on August 28, Qu has held on to her starting spot, showing that her stint in goal was not a one-time occurrence. And with Qu in goal, the Quakers (3-1-0) have opened their season with fantastic momentum.

Outside of those involved with Penn sprint football, not many expected the Quakers to be players in the CSFL title race. Yet, come late October, there they were.

“Safety School! Safety School! Safety School!” The year is 2007. I am a brazen and beautifully snarky middle school student sitting with a group of 10 friends at Jadwin Gym for a Princeton-Penn men’s basketball game.

“Mike isn’t even here tonight — he’s president of an a cappella group — he’s gotta audition people, he’s doing that and he can throw the ball 60 yards.” Sometimes your quarterback has to miss practice because of injury.

Chaz Augustini is still playing varsity football at a Division 1 school. But this year, it's a bit different. Augustini, a wide receiver, will have an entirely new setting when he lines up for the Quakers this Saturday.

With a pair of 2-1 decisions, the Red and Blue took down the previously undefeated Leopards at home on Friday before downing the Blue Hens in their first road contest on Sunday.

Most students on campus last Friday stayed cooped up in an air-conditioned room, shying away from the unbearable Philadelphia heat. The Penn cross country teams did not.

A trip to Nebraska is an intriguing prospect. It’s hard to know what to expect — there’s really not a whole lot there. Except for an NCAA powerhouse in men’s soccer, that is.

On Saturday, the Quakers looked to their past to get ready for their future. In a final tune up before the season, the sprint football team held its annual alumni game, as the team took on recent graduates of the program.

There are nine days until Penn football kicks off its 2016 campaign. That’s 22 days after the first college football game of the season. Sports buffs out there will know that the first game, a matchup between Cal and Hawaii on August 26 in Sydney, Australia, is in the FBS division whereas the Quakers' first game against Lehigh on September 17 at 5 p.m.

A week into the year, it's time to say definitively who is good and who is not. What has impressed you most so far from Penn Athletics?

It’s become nearly as much a staple of Penn sprint football as longtime coach Bill Wagner himself.

If you plan on going to a Penn women's soccer game this season, make sure you get there on time. So far in their young season, the Quakers (1-1-0) have seen much of the goal scoring action, both for and against them, happen within the opening minutes of their matches.

About a month into her new role as assistant cross country coach, Juli Benson calls the position “a dream come true.”
