The Penn football team did everything that it could to preserve its Ivy League Championship hopes on Saturday at Franklin Field.
But in the midst of a come-from-behind victory and a record-setting performance, Penn's hopes to share the title with Harvard slipped away.
The Quakers (8-1, 6-1 Ivy League) spotted Cornell (2-7, 2-5) two early touchdowns before recovering and pouring on 38 unanswered points for a 38-14 win.
On the way to the victory, Penn tailback Kris Ryan piled up 152 yards, blowing past Brian Keys' Penn career rushing record. Ryan's 3,213 career yards make him the fifth most prolific rusher in the history of the Ivy League.
Penn's championship destiny, however, was not in its own hands, and Harvard's win over Yale gave the Crimson an undefeated season and sole possession of the title.
