10/19/2019 4:52:00 PM | Football
A wild open first half had the two teams combine for 70 points with Princeton holding a 51-19 lead at intermission. The 65 points scored by the Tigers overall are the most ever surrendered by a Brown team, eclipsing the previous mark of 62 points score by Dartmouth in 1903.
"Princeton is a really good team, who played well today," said Brown head coach James Perry. We've made great strides as a program. The lessons we learned today will turn into success down the road. Today's score is not indicative of the progress our program has made."
Bears quarterback EJ Perry (Andover, MA) completed 21-of-42 passes for 296 yards, throwing touchdown passes of 37 and 21 yards. Sophomore tailback Allen Smith (Westerville, OH) ran for a season high 109 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns, putting together his first career 100-yard rushing game.
Senior wide receiver Jakob Prall (Tipp City, OH) had a big day with five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown, while senior Dan Gemmell (Andover, MA) made five receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, sophomore Jason Medeiros (Rehoboth, MA) intercepted his second pass of the season for the Bears. Freshman Malcolm Brunson (Plainville, NJ) registered a team high seven tackles, including five solo stops. Freshman Harrison Ochs (Indianapolis, IN) also made five solo tackles.
Davidson completed 27-of-37 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns. The Bears defense had few answers for Tigers' wide receiver Jacob Birmelin, who had 12 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns.
The Tigers accumulated 634 yards of total offense, while Brown had 400 total yards.
Brown drove 75 yards for a touchdown on the first series of the game with Perry tossing a 37-yard scoring strike to Prall to lift the Bears to an early 6-0 lead. Perry connected on 5-of-7 passes for 71 yards in the series.
Princeton answered on its first series, with Tavish Rice booting a 24-yard field goal to trail 6-3, with 9:27 left in the opening quarter.
Two quick Princeton touchdowns, the second with 2:00 left in the first quarter, lifted the Tigers to a 17-6 lead.
Undeterred, Brown scored on the opening play of the second quarter, a one-yard touchdown by Smith to trail 17-12. Following a Mederios interception, Brown stalled at the Tigers four-yard line.
Princeton quickly responded with two more touchdowns for a 31-12 advantage.
Perry tossed a 21 yard touchdown pass to Gemmell to get the Bears back in the game with 6:48 left in the half to trail, 31-19.
The Tigers kept up the offensive pressure with two additional scores for a 51-19 lead at the half.
The relentless Princeton squad came out in the second half and scored on its first possession, a 39-yard pass play from Davidson to Dylan Classi for a 58-19 advantage.
Dawson Goepferich booted a 30-yard field goal with 8:17 remaining in the quarter to trail 58-22.
Davidson's fifth TD pass, a fourth quarter 40-yard strike to Zach Kelly, accounted for the final score.
After three straight home games, Brown hits the road for two straight games, starting with a trip to Ithaca, New York to battle Cornell on Saturday, October 26. Kick-off on ESPN+ is 1:30 pm at Schoellkopf Field.
