PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Christopher Maron booted a 29-yard field goal on the final play, capping a rally from an 18-point deficit and Brown defeated Cornell 23-21 on Saturday.

After falling behind 21-3 with about 4 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, the Bears reached the end zone on back-to-back drives that totaled 173 yards. Jake Willcox hit Solomon Miller for a 38-yard touchdown that capped a seven-play, 75-yard drive toward the end of the third. Early in the fourth, Qwentin Brown's 1-yard run finished a 12-play, 98-yard drive to make it 21-17.

After Qwentin Brown's touchdown, the Big Red ran a total of seven plays and punted twice on their final two possessions.
