Karrash's last-second FG lifts Penn over Brown 38-36
PHILADELPHIA -- Daniel Karrash kicked a 22-yard field goal with 2 seconds left in the game and Pennsylvania outlasted Brown 38-36 on Saturday.
Karrash's kick saved the day for the Quakers (3-4, 1/3 Ivy League), who saw a 35-19 third-quarter lead turn into a 36-35 deficit with 8:40 left to play.
EJ Perry's 50-yard touchdown run gave the Bears (1-6, 0-4) a 7-0 lead after one quarter.
Abe Williams capped back-to-back drives with TD runs of 1 and 8 yards to put Penn up 14-7 with 5:19 left before halftime. Perry scored on a 3-yard run, but the point-after kick missed and Brown trailed 14-13. Nick Robinson connected with Ryan Cragun for a 24-yard scoring strike with 2:09 left, giving Penn a 21-13 lead, but Perry found Jakob Prall for a 37-yard score. The 2-point try failed and left Brown trailing 21-19 at halftime.
Penn stretched its lead to 35-19 just 2 minutes into the third quarter. Robinson had an 11-yard TD pass to Rory Starkey Jr. and on the ensuing kickoff Brian O'Neill scooped up a fumble and raced 21 yards for a TD.
