Déjà vu brought fans at Princeton Stadium back to Homecoming one month prior. On that October Saturday, Princeton football (5-5 overall, 4-3 Ivy League) faced a Crimson onslaught and emerged battered and defeated 49-7. This past Saturday, Dartmouth (8-2, 6-1) came to town and, with a similarly overwhelming performance, topped the Tigers by a score of 41-10.

Just one win stood between Princeton and sole possession of the 2013 Ivy League championship. Nothing was guaranteed — nothing ever is on game day — but one could have hardly expected Dartmouth to limit a 50-point-per-game offense to a total of just 24 points. What had been a remarkable season ended on a regrettable note, as the Big Green won 28-24. Although co-champions, the Tigers just missed a perfect conference mark.

The Tigers (5-4 overall, 4-2 Ivy League) are officially out of Ivy title contention after losing 44-30 to Yale this weekend.

It wasn’t always pretty, but the Tigers (5-3 overall, 4-1 Ivy) got it done when it counted and came out of Saturday’s matchup against Penn with a 22-17 win to keep their hopes of an Ivy title alive. Twenty-two points may not seem like a lot for an offense that has shown explosive potential almost all season, but it was enough in the end as the defense stepped up to frustrate the Penn offense all afternoon.

After being embarrassed on their home field last weekend in the homecoming matchup against Harvard, it was unclear how the Tigers would respond with more than half of their Ivy season left to play. However, the Tigers (4-3 overall, 3-1 Ivy League) showed they had a short memory and displayed their resolve as they put the loss behind them to earn a 38-27 win over Cornell this weekend.

Brown is tied for fifth with an 0-1 League record after losing to Harvard.

The sprint football team (0-3 overall) lost its home openeron Fridaynight to Cornell (2-2). Featuring a roster plagued by injuries and playing without two of its three captains, the undermanned Princeton squad was overmatched from the outset, unable to stop Cornell on offense and playing in its own half for virtually all of the game.

NEW YORK — Facing consistently inclement conditions, the Lions and Tigers fought for sovereignty of the concrete jungle in the very northwest corner of Manhattan. Princeton (2-1 overall, 2-0 Ivy League) emerged from Robert Kraft Field with a 38-6 win over Columbia (0-3, 0-1). Yet, the visitors didn’t establish the dominance reflected by that score line early. Two quarters of uncharacteristically lackluster offense saw the Tigers leading 10-6, a lead they only established with the very final play of the half. Early in the third frame, an explosive 51-yard touchdown run by junior running back DiAndre Atwater ignited Princeton’s offensive surge. Three unanswered third quarter Princeton touchdowns put the game out of reach for the Lions, whose passing game completed only 45 percent of their attempts while the ground attack only managed one yard per rush.

After a disappointing start to its 2014 campaign, the football team (1-1) entered Saturday evening’s home opener determined to right the ship. A 39-29 loss at San Diego University the weekend before saw the vaunted Tiger offense sputter while the defense surrendered too many big plays. However, it was a different Princeton team that rushed onto Powers Field in front of a large crowd of 15,205, one that head coach Bob Surace '90 called “a big boost” for his team.
