P-Fan is right. Absent the two turnovers Yale's season might have continued. Nonetheless this Yale team provided Bulldog fans and Ivy fans with some outstanding entertainment for two playoff games and showed the Ivy League can be a formidable opponent against the top ranked FCS teams. Congratulations Yale team 152. Thank you for a great season.

Yale deserves applause from all the ivy teams and I expect this game will facilitate recruiting for everyone. They played with heart that should be a lesson to all. Next year's ivy representative(s) can know they belong. I bet MS knows this was a seesaw contest.

I thought there were several strategic mistakes that handicapped and ultimately cost them a chance. First, going for 2 after the first TD. I know some people advocate it based on "analytics", but I have never been a fan of such a tactic until it's necessary. Second, in the final few minutes of the game they were not organized enough to get off quick plays, and when closing on on their second TD ran too many time-consuming running plays to gain a couple yards for a first down (unsuccessfully), showing lack of urgency as the announcers commented.

Finally, I can't help thinking how Princeton played Yale mostly even until the final minutes. What could have been.

I thought Princeton played very well against Yale and was a much better team than their win/loss record indicated. If Princeton had beaten Yale, though, Harvard would have won the league, there would most likely have been no at-large bid for Yale and, after Harvard got beaten 52-7 by Villanova, the first year of postseason play would have been blighted because no one in FCS football outside of the Ivies would take Ivy football seriously. In the circumstances, I think Princeton took one for the team.
