So, you're saying there's a chance...

Despite an 0-3 start in Ivy League play, a Homecoming win over Princeton has Penn still alive in a wild Ivy League title race with two weeks to play. The Quakers need to win out and get some help to claim a third straight Ivy title, but it's in play. First things first, a trip to Cambridge for a tilt with the Crimson.

The Penn-Harvard Series — 88th Meeting
One of the most important rivalries in the Ivy League reconvenes on Saturday in Boston. Penn or Harvard has won at least a share of the Ivy League title each of the last 10 years. The Quakers have won five Ivy title since 2007 — three outright — while Harvard has won six — also three outright. The Red and Blue have won the last two meetings in the series, each by multiple scores.

Seventh Heaven?
It wouldn't be the Ivy League if there wasn't some math involved. Perhaps the wildest Ivy title race of all-time enters the final stretch with many different ways it could shake out — including a SEVEN-WAY tie for first place. If you're asking how that could happen, here you go...
Penn: Beats Harvard and Cornell
Yale: Loses to Princeton and Harvard
Harvard: Loses to Penn; Beats Yale
Cornell: Beats Columbia; Loses to Penn
Princeton: Beats Yale and Dartmouth
Dartmouth: Beats Brown; Loses to Princeton
Columbia: Loses to Cornell; Beats Brown

There are other permutations which shake out anywhere from one to six Ivy champions, but those aren't quite as fun. If Yale beats Princeton this week, the Bulldogs will clinch at least a share of the title and eliminate any three-loss teams.

#JWatch
Already Penn's career record holder in receptions (265), receiving yards (3,537), receiving touchdowns (31) and consecutive games with a receiving touchdown (8), Justin Watson has a few more records to potentially chase down before his stellar career comes to a close. He is 134 all-purpose yards away from setting Penn's all-time record and two receiving touchdowns away from setting a new Penn single-season record with 14. If he catches a touchdown pass today, not only will Watson extend the longest-active streak in FCS football, he will set a new Ivy League record for consecutive games with a touchdown reception at nine. For good measure, he is also 157 yards away from 1,000 for the season. If he reaches 1,000, he will be the first player in Ivy League history to record three career 1,000-yard seasons.

Gutsy Quakers Find Favor On Fourth Down
In 2016, Penn ranked No. 9 among all FCS programs and No. 1 in the Ivy League in 4th down conversion percentage. The Quakers were 17-for-25 on fourth down, good for 68%. The Red and Blue have not been called on as much this year on 4th down, but are 6-for-8 on fourth down this season to rank No. 4 in FCS.

Discipline, Discipline, Discipline
Penn was the 10th-fewest penalized team in all of FCS football in 2016, averaging 4.6 infractions-per-game. Penn's 40.6 penalty yards-per-game were seventh-fewest among all FCS team. This season, Penn has been flagged for 45 penalties — No. 17 among FCS teams. Penn's 5.63 penalties-per-game ranks No. 29 in FCS and the Red and Blue's 50.75 penalty yards-per-game are No. 27.

Priore Primed When Facing Ivy's Winningest Coaches
Third-year head coach Ray Priore is the shortest-tenured head coach among the eight bench bosses in the Ivy League, with just 28 total games to his credit. However, he has found early success against the two winningest-coaches in recent Ivy history — Harvard's Tim Murphy and Columbia's Al Bagnoli. Priore is 4-1 against the two coaches who have over 115 Ivy League wins apiece. Priore is one of only four current Ivy head coaches with a winning record in Ancient Eight play.

Touching Down On The Touchdown List
Justin Watson has 12 receiving touchdowns through eight games this season — already a career-high for a single season and already No. 3 all-time in a single season by a Quaker and one away from tying the program record. 2017 is the third year in a row Watson has scored 7+ receiving touchdowns — something no other player in program history has accomplished.

Watson Climbs All-Time Scoring List
Among players who call wide receiver their primary position, Justin Watson has already set Penn's career scoring record with 194 points on 31 receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and a 2-point conversion. That total is No. 5 all-time by any Penn player and No. 3 among non-kickers. He is 11 points away from moving into No. 4 all-time. FYI, Watson is three touchdowns away from tying Penn's all-time career touchdown record of 35 set by Bryan Keys from 1987-89.

Just Incredible
Watson ranks No. 1 among all FCS wide receivers with 12 receiving touchdowns this season. He is No. 2 among all Division I wide receivers — FBS or FCS — in receiving TDs-per-game at 1.5, trailing only David Sills of West Virginia (1.8).

The Best Around
Among active FCS wide receivers, Justin Watson ranks No. 1 in receptions-per-game (6.93), No. 2 in receptions (265), No. 3 in receiving yards (3,537) and No. 3 in receiving yards-per-game (93.1).

1,000-Yard Staredown
Justin Watson already owns two of the 26 1,000-yard seasons in the history of the Ivy League. He is 157 yards away from his third 1,000-yard season and would be the first player in Ancient Eight history with three career 1,000 yard seasons.
