Kanoff Hits Milestone, Leads Tigers Into Ivy Stretch With 50-30 Win Over Georgetown
October 07, 2017 | Football
The junior duo of Jesper Horsted (9-112, 1 TD) and Stephen Carlson (5-87, 1 TD) accounted for a significant amount of Kanoff's passing yards, though junior tight end Graham Adomitis made himself a red zone target with a pair of receiving touchdowns. Both Charlie Volker and Ryan Quigley rushed for touchdowns, while freshman Collin Eaddy led the team with 67 rushing yards and helped ice the game in the fourth quarter.
The defense had its fair share of big moments as well, although none was bigger than CJ Wall's third career interception in only four games. Wall stepped in front of a Georgetown receiver along the visiting sideline and outran the competition for a 38-yard touchdown return, Princeton's first defensive touchdown since Sept. 25, 2015, when RJ Paige returned a pick for a score against Lehigh. That was part of a stretch of 50 unanswered points for the Tigers, who overcame a slow start to race past the Hoyas.
Trailing 10-0, Kanoff hit Horsted on a 14-yard post to get Princeton on the board late in the first quarter. The defense built off that energy when Kurt Holuba and Mike Wagner combined to sack Cole Norris in the end zone for Princeton's first safety since Caraun Reid recorded one against Brown in 2012. Volker finished the ensuing drive with a one-yard touchdown, and Princeton turned a 10-point deficit into a 17-10 lead in only 2:37.
Kanoff was spectacular in the second quarter, completing seven of eight passes, including two short ones to Adomitis in the end zone. Wall's interception (see below) came between those two scores and helped Princeton to a 36-10 lead by the break.

Kanoff, who added a 63-yard strike to Carlson early in the third quarter, finished the day with 5,269 career passing yards, second most in Princeton history and 23rd most in Ivy history; he moved past former Harvard and NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had been 23rd with 5,234 yards.

Wagner continued his stellar recent play with seven tackles, including 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble. Freshman cornerback Delan Stallworth had a career-high five tackles, while Simeon Lane came up with his first career blocked field goal.
Princeton will now move into the heart of its Ivy season next Saturday when it takes on Brown at 12:30 pm.
