Penn Football vs. Lehigh
September 29, 2017
Postgame Notes

This marks Penn’s 1,376th football game, continuing their own NCAA record. They have played 50 more games than the second-place Rutgers (1,325) and became the first program to hit 1,300 games played with a Halloween overtime win in 2009 at Brown.
The Quakers lost for the first time at home since the 2016 season opener against Lehigh, ending a five-game winning streak at Franklin Field.
The loss drops Penn to 10-2 in its last 12 games.
One week after rushing for 268 yards at Lehigh, the Quakers were held to just 243 yards of total offense – the fewest under head coach Ray Priore.
Kicker Jack Soslow was 2-for-2 on field goals, the first two makes of his career after missing on his first two attempts.
Justin Watson had six catches for 55 yards and a touchdown, giving him one receiving touchdown in all three games this season.
Watson has caught at least two passes in all 33 games he has played for the Penn Football program. He has already set a school record for consecutive games with a catch and is No. 3 all-time by an Ivy Leaguer.
Watson continued his climb up the Penn record books. He now has 2,984 yards – No. 2 all-time by a Quaker. That number is also No. 6 all-time by an Ivy Leaguer. He is just 16 yards away from becoming Penn’s second 3,000-yard receiver and the sixth all-time in the Ivy League.
Watson now has 1,981 receiving yards in Ivy League games – moving into No. 9 all-time by an Ancient Eight player. He passed Cornell’s Keith Ferguson (1,976) tonight.
Watson now ranks No. 6 all-time in receptions in Ivy League games with 160. He moved up three spots from No. 9 tonight.
