Princeton edges Dartmouth in battle of Ivy unbeatens

(STATS) -- Most of the talk has been about the Princeton offense all season even if the defense has ranked among the best in the FCS. The Tigers defense picked the right time to make everybody notice. It limited Dartmouth to 213 yards and quarterback John Lovett 's second touchdown run with 6:33 left lifted the No. 18 Tigers past No. 24 Dartmouth 14-9 in a matchup of unbeaten Ivy League teams on Saturday. Lovett's game-winning 5-yard keeper erased a 9-7 deficit. The Tigers improved to 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the league; Dartmouth fell to 7-1 and 4-1. "We have a team that works incredibly hard (and) believes in each other. That's most important," said Lovett, a senior who rushed for 53 yards and had 214 yards of total offense.
