Princeton University Football Team Falls to Yale on Late Touchdown

The Princeton University football team carried a four-point lead into the fourth quarter, but allowed its lead to slip away when it gave up two fourth quarter scores and fell to Yale, 35-28, on Saturday, according to espn.com.

Chad Kanoff completed 25 of his 42 pass attempts for 338 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss.

His 7-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Osborne put Princeton on the board first, in the first quarter, and DiAndre Atwater’s 4-yard touchdown run gave Princeton a 14-0 lead.

Yale came back to tie the game at 14-14, and had an answer for Princeton all day.

When Kanoff threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Barnes in the second quarter, Yale responded by tying the score with a Morgan Roberts 1-yard touchdown run.

Yale took a brief lead with a 35-yard field goal from Bryan Holmes, but Kanoff’s second touchdown pass to Barnes, a 53-yarder, put the Tigers up by four after three.

Yale pulled to within one on Holmes’ 34-yard field goal early in the fourth.

Roberts threw the game-winning touchdown pass, a 19-yarder to Robert Clemons III, with four minutes, 31 seconds left in the game.

Princeton fell to 5-4 overall, 2-4 in the conference. Yale improved to 6-3, 3-3.
