Following The Tigers on Twitter Princeton Athletics...... @PUTigers Princeton Football...... @PUTigerFootball High Five Princeton made its move on first place in the league by ending a pair of five-game losing streaks last month. After topping Brown 19-0, the Tigers made a memorable 29-point rally to upend Harvard 39-34 two weeks ago. To stay in first place, Princeton will have to do it again. The Tigers haven’t defeated Penn since 2006, when Rob Toresco pitched a double- overtime, fourth-down run back to Jeff Terrell, who found the right side of the end zone for the go-ahead score in a 31-30 thrill ride.
Not-So-Close Encounters Princeton has lost five straight games to Penn, and none of the last three have been close. The Tigers have lost their last three games to the Quakers by an average margin of 35 points, including a 52-10 Penn victory in the last meeting on Powers Field (2010). Since Princeton Stadium opened, the Tigers have only one victory over Penn; they have at least two against every other team in the Ivy League.
Poll Position The three teams that currently share first place in the Ivy League are Harvard, Penn and Princeton. Harvard, the reigning champion, was picked first in the preseason poll. Penn, the 2010 champion, was picked second. Princeton, which had gone 1-13 in the Ivy League over those two seasons, was picked to finish last.
