Penn football defensive coordinator Bob Benson will be with Penn for seven seasons in the fall and has helped to the team to two Ivy League titles during his tenure.

Penn football defensive coordinator Bob Benson, in his second year in University City, is in the midst of his first season getting to share a role in Penn Athletics with his wife and assistant cross country coach Juli.

One crucial reason Penn football was voted second favorite for the Ivy League title in its preseason media poll was the presence of junior wideout Justin Watson, who was one of 22 players nationwide named to the STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year watch list.
