Lovett scores record 7 TDs, Princeton drubs Cornell 56-7

ITHACA, N.Y. -- John Lovett set a school record with seven touchdowns -- four passing, two rushing and one receiving -- as Princeton beat Cornell for the fourth straight time on Saturday, 56-7. Lovett accounted for five TDs in the final 20 minutes of the first half to give the Tigers (5-2, 3-1 Ivy) a 35-0 lead at the break. Cornell (3-4, 1-3) got on the board with a 15-yard TD pass from Dalton Banks to Ben Rogers to make it 35-7, but Lovett answered two plays later with a 95-yard scoring pass to Isaiah Barnes . Lovett capped his superlative day with a 6-yard TD pass -- his fourth -- with 31 seconds left in the third quarter. Princeton tied a school record with 645 yards, its most since 1991. The win gives the Princeton Class of 2016 an undefeated record against Cornell, a feat previously accomplished only twice (1966, 1977) in the last 100 years.
