THINKS THE EAGLES STOLE ONE
Penn's football team has been picked second in a preseason poll of media members that cover the Ivy League. Two-time defending champ Harvard was picked to win the league once again.
The Quakers return 14 starters including senior cornerback Chris Wynn, who is on the Buck Buchanan Award watch list given to the top defensive player in I-AA. Penn last won the Ivy League title in 2003.
Harvard shared the crown with Brown last year and will try to become the first school since Dartmouth 1990-92 to win at least a share of three conference titles in a row. Penn plays at Harvard on Nov. 14.
