With disappointment swirling around Penn football and its conference record, the squad has upset on its collective mind. <\/p>\n
The Red and Blues matchup with rival Princeton on Saturday represents an opportunity for the Quakers to bury some of the frustration that has largely defined the transitioning teams season. <\/p>\n
The task will be far from easy for the Red and Blue (1-6, 1-3 Ivy), however, as the Tigers team they face will be fighting to keep its Ivy League title hopes alive. <\/p>\n
Princeton(4-3, 3-1), tied with Yale and Dartmouth in the Ivy standings behind undefeated Harvard, bounced back from a lopsided loss to the Crimson with a 38-27 win over Cornell last weekend. <\/p>\n
The Tigers third-ranked offense boasts a pair of talented quarterbacks in seniors Connor Michelsen and Quinn Epperly . <\/p>\n
Michelsen has seen the majority of snaps behind center as of late, an opportunity he has taken advantage of. <\/p>\n
In Princetons last two wins,over Cornell and Brown, Michelson threw for a combined 648 yards and six touchdowns. <\/p>\n
Overall, Michelsen has been more efficient and less mistake-prone than Epperly this season. <\/p>\n
Its likely that the Tigers will roll with the hot hand this Saturday against Penn, but Epperly, who is a strong runner, is always a change-of-pace threat. <\/p>\n
When they have [Epperly] in the game, they tend to run him more than they would run [Michelson], coach Al Bagnoli said. You have to prepare for the same passing attack its a lefty [Epperly]\/righty [Michelsen] combination but in the run game is where you see the big difference. <\/p>\n
