Among the many great things the Quakers can take away from Saturday’s 14-7 overtime victory over Brown, the performance of senior wide receiver Kyle Derham may be among the most crucial.
It’s no secret that the Penn passing game had been nearly non-existent this season, ranking in at 107th out of the 118 teams in the Football Championship Subdivision going into Saturday’s contest. Of course, a lot of that had to do with injuries to nearly every quarterback on the roster and the focus on the impressive running game, but it hasn’t been helped by the inability of any wide receiver to step up. That changed Saturday, as Derham caught 8 passes for 95 yards (both season highs for the Quakers). Two of those came in overtime, including the game-winning score, his first since last year’s opener against Villanova.
