Yale - Brown

[bulldog10jw]

Yale 1st and 10 at the Brown 30

[bulldog10jw]

Yale 3 Brown 3 - 6:23 left in the half.

[bulldog10jw]

Abare may return. Some kind of back problem.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale 1st and 10 on their own 6. This is at least the 3rd time Yale has started inside their own 10.

[YaleFootballFan]

First down Yale.

[YaleFootballFan]

McLeod 12 carries for 41 yards.

[bulldog10jw]

Interception by Brown.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale 3 Brown 3 - halftime

[bulldog10jw]

Yale moved the ball better than they have in weeks, but could not make the critical play once they got in Brown territory.

Brown looks a little out of sync. I expect more from Brown in the 2nd half, especially with their edge in the coaching dept.

[bulldog10jw]

McLeod 12 carries for 41 yards.

Suprised since he had one run of about 25 yards. He's still getting stopped behind the line a lot.

[YaleFootballFan]

It would've been nice to score before the half, even a field goal. Yale was moving the ball well before the interception.

Other Ivy scores:

Harvard 35, Columbia 14 - 3rd Quarter

Cornell 17, Dartmouth 0 - 2nd Quarter

YFF. They say the Yale band is at Brown for the first time in 25 years? Why?

[bulldog10jw]

Nice punt return by Yale to about the Brown 40.

47 yard return.

[YaleFootballFan]

YFF. They say the Yale band is at Brown for the first time in 25 years? Why?

The last time I remember seeing the Yale Band at Brown was 1988.

Not sure why they've never made the short trip to Providence. They usually go up to Brown when Yale's hockey team plays there.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale first and goal....then sacked. 2nd and goal at the 15.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale ends up settling for a FG.

6-3 Yale with 10 minutes left in the 3rd.

[YaleFootballFan]

FG is good.

6-3 Yale. 9:42 left in the 3rd quarter.

[bulldog10jw]

Brown moving the ball now. Yale's not getting a pass rush.

[bulldog10jw]

Brown fails on 4th down at the Yale 30.

[bulldog10jw]

I don't think Yale has had a 3 and out in the game, but they just cannot sustain their drives enough to score TD's.

Brown ball on their own 10.

[bulldog10jw]

Bad face mask penalty on Yale after they had stopped Brown on 3rd down on the Brown 20. It wasn't even close to the play.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale 6 Brown 3 - end of 3

[bulldog10jw]

Brown with good field position on the 50.

[bulldog10jw]

Brown misses a short FG after having a 3rd and 1 at the Yale 8. Still 6-3 Yale with 10 minutes left in the game.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale's needs to get rid of that delayed handoff to McLeod. The defense always gets him before he can get started.

Brown ball on their own 17....now on the 35.

6 minutes left.

[YaleFootballFan]

Brown is forced to punt.

Good job by the Yale defense.

The offense needs to step up.

Out of town scoreboard:

Harvard 42, Columbia 28 FINAL
Cornell 30, Dartmouth 7, 3rd Quarter

If Yale can hold on to beat Brown, it'll set up a HUGE game in Philadelphia next week between Harvard and Penn (both 4-1).

[bulldog10jw]

Yale had an interception right in their hands, and dropped it.

[bulldog10jw]

Brown moving the ball. At the Yale 45 with 2:28 left.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale stops Brown on 4th down, Yale ball 2 minutes left.

[YaleFootballFan]

Brown has been dropping passes left and right.

Yale takes over on downs with 2:01 left.

[bulldog10jw]

Brown call their 2nd timeout. Yale 2nd and 5 at the Yale 45.

[bulldog10jw]

Brown out of timeouts. 1:48 left. Yale 3rd and 1.

[bulldog10jw]

McLeod stuffed on 3rd down, have we ever heard of a QB sneak?

[bulldog10jw]

Yale to punt with 1 minute left.

[bulldog10jw]

Yale INT by Casey Gerald. History.

[bulldog10jw]

YFF. What have you heard about McLeod? I don't think the O-line is doing him any favors, but he just seems to run right into piles when a move that he made the last 3 years would at least get positive yardage. Any rumors?

Heavens pardon me for saying this, but thank goodness for Yale. Way to go Elis.

I had to spend the morning miserably floundering through the MPRE (ethics exam for law students) instead of following our beloved Ivy League football (it should be an ethics violation to have such exams on Saturdays). What a nice reward to return home to.

Maybe H-Y will regain some of that early-season buzz now. Can't wait to fly back to Boston in 2 weeks...

Ethics and law? Should those be in the same sentence?

j/k :p

We played like total crap today, ending our hopes for our first perfect Ivy season ever. Hopefully we will play well in the next two games.

Now we have to hope that Harvard beats Penn and Yale beats Harvard or Penn beats Harvard but loses to Cornell.

Yale has a very good defense but there is no doubt that Brown was just out of sync today. Maybe a little bit of a hangover from the win at Penn, which was the game of the year for Brown. Plus the Yale offense finally held on to the ball and kept the "D" from wearing out.

Sad comment on the media coverage for Brown in Providence by The N.H. Reister blogger:

http://portal31nhr.blogspot.com/

One last thought, I will think twice before I criticize the Connecticut media for its lack of coverage of the Yale football team after what happened on Saturday. Outside of a writer from the Associated Press, there was not one member of the Providence or Brown media in the post-game press conference. Brown coach Phil Estes wasn't even summoned to the press conference because there was no local media there to cover the event. That's pretty hard to believe considering that the Bears were in first place in the Ivy League playing a huge game. I know times are tough in the newspaper business with layoffs and early retirements happening at an alarming rate, but I believe the Brown team deserved better from its local media.

Wow, that is pretty sad. I'd expect that from the larger markets in the league (Philadelphia, NYC, Boston) but not from Providence. I mean what else is going on that the local sports media has to cover instead of Brown football? URI? Providence basketball? The Providence Bruins? Yeah, right.

At least with the New Haven media, we know why Yale football gets ignored......UCONN.

Providence, you have no excuse. Brown deserves better.

All I've heard is McLeod separated his shoulder in the Columbia game.

The projo just covers Boston sports (and some URI and PC basketball), but very little when it comes to local sports. It's really sad that we get so little coverage, and as a result, very few people in the city or even on campus care at all about Brown sports.
