Key Player Matchups

QB Danny Lauter (Georgetown) vs. Brown Secondary

Lauter has thrown for 618 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT through three games. His efficiency (61.2% completions) will test Brown’s pass defense, which struggled late in 2024.

RB Savion Hart (Georgetown) vs. Brown Front Seven

Hart is averaging 82.7 rushing yards per game with 5 rushing TDs. Brown allowed 200+ rushing yards in multiple Ivy contests last season.

QB Jake Willcox (Brown) vs. Georgetown Pass Rush

Willcox posted 2,482 passing yards in 2024. If Georgetown’s defensive line can pressure him, turnovers could swing momentum.

WR Mark Mahoney (Brown) vs. Hoyas’ CB Unit

Mahoney led Brown with 565 receiving yards and 5 TDs last season. His ability to stretch the field will be critical.
