The athletic department just released the 2009 football schedule. None of the matchups are that surprising since the Ivy schedule is set in stone through the 2023 season and two of the three non-conference games are against teams the Quakers faced (and lost to) last year.  In fact, those two games, home versus VIllanova and at Lafayette, will not even switch venues. Last year Penn lost in overtime to Villanova, 20-14, at Franklin Field, and then lost in Easton, Pa., the next weekend, 24-17, to the Leopards. The third, and new, non-coference opponent is Bucknell, who the Red and Blue last faced in 2006.
