A long-standing varsity men’s sport at Princeton, the sprint football team is looking to win its first game since 1999 as it begins a new season this week. With a completely revamped coaching staff— including a former Super Bowl champion as head coach— and a deeper roster of players than it has fielded in the recent past, the team is energized and taking a fresh approach as it encounters a brand new season.

New Jersey’s fall breezes grow crisp and the newly-variegated leaves blow along with them. One-time Cottage member F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that at this point in the year’s cycle, “Life starts all over again.” Why is that? Simply because it’s time for men, 11-per-side, to retake the gridiron and participate in America’s greatest entertainment: football. The Ivy League may have faded in terms of its relative competitiveness since giving birth to the game so many years ago. Still, the Ancient Eight will nonetheless provide an excellent slate of action, marked by parity and seasoned rivalries. Just don’t ask for a postseason. Here’s how the sides stack up leading into the season’s first week.

Maybe you think of the renowned collegiate Gothic architecture when you think of Princeton, or maybe you think of Einstein or Jack Donaghy. Maybe you think of elitism or meningitis. I don’t know what you think of, but I bet it’s not football.

Five Orange and Black sides topped the Ivy League last year. Julia Ratcliffe, a hammer thrower entering her junior year, topped all national competition en route to an NCAA Championship. In this upcoming year, student-athletes across 36 varsity sports will vie to build on the success of years past; to rend Ivy League dominance from Harvard, an “institution” that outpaced us in championships in what was a remarkable reversal of history; and to follow in the pursuit of athletic excellence.

During his fifth and final year at Princeton, senior captain and defensive lineman Caraun Reid didn’t have too much time to watch television – he was busy winning an Ivy League championship, training for his NFL Pro Day, completing his sociology degree, leading Bible study discussions, singing a cappella with Old Nassoul and playing guitar and drums for his jazz band. This Friday though, Reid and his family will be glued to the TV screen in their Bronx home – not to catch up on all the Homeland episodes he missed this fall, but to watch his future unfold.

Just over a year ago, senior defensive lineman Caraun Reid made a bold decision: He would withdraw from his spring semester at Princeton, put his aspirations of playing in the NFL on hold and return in the fall for a redshirted fifth season. The potential rewards of his choice were clear but so were the risks: 10 more football games could drastically improve his draft prospects, but a letdown season or a crushing injury could dash his hopes of playing professional football.

The No. 19 football team's Ivy League championship season came to a disappointing end on Saturday, when the Tigers suffered their only Ivy League defeat of the season. After trailing 21-0 to Dartmouth (6-4 overall, 5-2 Ivy League) in the second quarter — its largest deficit of the season — Princeton mounted a furious comeback in the snow to tie things up before eventually falling 28-24.

The No. 19 football team has already clinched a share of the Ivy League title, but need to beat a tough Dartmouth team in order to win the title outright and have their first undefeated Ivy season since 1964. The Tigers (8-1 overall, 6-1 Ivy League) could also clinch the outright title if Harvard loses to Yale. The Big Green (5-4, 4-2) have two league losses, but they were both close as they only lost to Penn by 6 and Harvard by 3. The Big Green's defense has played well this season, but will have to play their best game of the season to contain a Princeton offense that averages 45.9 points per game.
