Glad our boys made it a game at the end. Fumbles in first half and horrific special teams is what ultimately did us in. Refs all over the place. Main announcer needs to quit (color guy was fine IMO).

Edit: oh, and the WR drops....brutal...

Tough way to end the season but they fought until the end. Hats off to Berry once again.

Would be amazing if Taverez stayed for his final year - he should not be in D3.

And Mount Union lost, so Berry will get to host next week.

Interesting USA Today interview with Coach Urban and the staff at Penn:  "Part 3 of a series that looks behind the curtain of college recruiting. USA TODAY Sports was granted behind-the-scenes access by the football staff at the University of Pennsylvania, a Division I program that offers a high academic profile but no Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) money or scholarships. We also conducted a phone interview with Jerheme Urban, a former NFL wide receiver who is now the head football coach at Trinity University, a high athletic and academic Division III liberal arts school in San Antonio.".  It doesn't seem to be paywalled but you may have to turn off your ad blocker:  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/12/06/how-to-get-recruited-ivy-penn-trinity-football/87634917007/

Thanks, Ron.  Nice article.

10 yards rushing?  I wasn't able to watch the game.  Is that right?

Yes, though that includes losing 34 yards on the would-be punt that sailed over Runyan's head, and 24 yards lost on sacks (tho it seemed like more than three sacks).  Berry had a 5'8" lineman (SAA DPoY Michael Clark) who is nearly that wide who wreaked havoc constantly.  Didn't get many tackles but just pushed our OL around so the faster guys could get through to make tackles or put pressure on Hondo.
