Philadelphia: As the entire nation celebrates Halloween, the Bright lights of Friday Night College Football would come to Historic Franklin Field for an Ivy League battle as the  Penn Quakers would take on the Brown Bears. The Quakers come into the game with a 4-2 record, while Brown made their way to Philly with a 3-3 record.

How the game went:

Penn wins the toss & Defers to the 2nd half, Brown starts the game with the ball & Brown would get down to the Penn 25 before the drive ended with Penn picking the pass off on 4th down & returning it to the 42 of Penn,

A Few plays later, Penn would get the scoring started with 1 1-yard TD Run from Donte West for the 7-0 lead.  Brown would respond from the Penn Touchdown with a 44-yard touchdown to even things at 7 with 4:26 left in 1st quarter

Penn would keep the drive going to start the 2nd quarter & end with a 9-yard TD from O’Brein to Owns for a 14-7 lead

The Quakers would add to the lead as RB Sean Williams Jr ran it in from 1 yard for the 21-7 lead & that would be the score at halftime. Going into the 3rd quarter, what could Brown do to get back into the game & at the same time make things challenging for the Quakers?

Penn got the ball to start the 3rd quarter & it would end with an INT. & Brown would make them play with a 12-play drive that ended with a touchdown on 4th down, which the RB would throw the pass for a Touchdown.

The Quakers would respond from the touchdown as they came out & got a big run from Donte West

A few plays later, Donte West would run it in for his 2nd touchdown of the game for a 28-14 lead. Brown would hang around and score a touchdown to cut the Quakers’ lead to 28-21 with 4:19 left in 4th quarter. After seeing Brown hang around, what could Penn do to end this game? They would go on a nice, time-consuming drive, which saw them get the ball down to the Brown 1 before taking a Knee for the win. Penn wins the game 28-21.
