Daily News | Seasoned Penn football team picked to finish third in the Ivy League
Penn was tabbed to finish third in an Ivy League football preseason poll of the media on Monday, behind Yale in first and Princeton in second.
That all came to a screeching halt with a 34-31 loss to Brown in October — the last-place Bears’ only conference victory of the season. Coincidentally, Brown was the only Ivy team the Quakers had been able to defeat the year before.Penn ended the season on a high note, completing a last-second comeback against Princeton on the road, the Quakers’ first win in Princeton since 2012. But the Ivy League title remained just out of reach.
“We saw the growth of Aidan Sayin, the last five games of his freshman year, really begin to take off. We knew we had a very special talent in that position,” Priore said. “His football IQ is high, very athletic. And once again, a very, very, very good person in the huddle in the locker room, as a true leader, and I think it all starts with that position.
“Every game I’ve ever played has been with Aidan, and it’s kind of all I know. And it’s kind of been developing through the years,” Casilli said. “I’ve been sitting down with him a lot and kind of getting his thoughts on how he wants me to run certain things or what he likes to see from me, and I think if we just continue to build in the film room. I mean, sky’s the limit.”Penn’s defense has been a consistent strength in recent seasons.
“Our defense, we are very hungry,” Melvin said. “Very, very, hungry, and all across the board, we are a very experienced unit, from the front seven to the secondary as well.”Friday night lights
