In Saturday's football game with Brown, junior running back Cameron Atkinson had both the Ivy League's longest rushing play as well as the longest kick-off return of the season, but his 287 yard total performance was not enough as Princeton (1-3 overall, 1-1 Ivy League) fell to Brown (2-2, 1-1), 35-24.Both sides of the ball for the Tigers were noticeably weaker due to injuries, and the absence of junior wide receiver Chisom Opara greatly hurt the air attack and wiped out the big passing plays."We need to get our pass protection straightened out a bit if we're going to throw to anyone down there," head coach Roger Hughes said.
