THINKS THE EAGLES STOLE ONE
Today at 3:30 p.m.,
Franklin Field.
TV/Radio: Comcast Network; WFIL-AM (560).
Records: Princeton, 2-5, 1-3 Ivy League; Penn, 5-2, 4-0.
Coaches: Princeton, Roger Hughes (10th season, 33-34); Penn, Al Bagnoli (18th season, 119-56).
Series: Penn has won 12 of the last 17 meetings, but Princeton leads the series, 63-36-1.
Princeton preview: Tigers linebacker Steven Cody is the nation's second-leading tackler in the Football Championship Subdivision, averaging 12.8 tackles a game. Quarterback Tommy Wornham completed 16 of 27 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns in last week's come-from-behind win over Cornell. With the Tigers averaging just 10.7 points, Wornham must have a big game to pull off an upset.
Penn update: The Quakers shouldn't have any problem shutting down the Tigers' offense. Penn is ranked second nationally in rushing defense (66 yards per game), third in total defense (228.71 ypg.) and scoring defense (11.57 ppg.), sixth in sacks per game (3.29), and eighth in pass efficiency (99.92 rating). The Quakers have allowed just 68 rushing yards in their last three games combined.
