PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Patrick Donnelly passed for two touchdowns and the Brown defense dominated to help the Bears shut out Yale 20-0 in an Ivy League showdown Saturday.
Donnelly found Cody Taulbee for a 3-yard touchdown pass with five minutes left in the first quarter to put Brown (5-2, 2-3) on top 7-0. Donnelly finished 24 of 48 for 232 yards.
The Bears led at halftime 10-0.
Brown added a touchdown late in the third quarter when Donnelly found Jordan Evans for a 25-yard touchdown.

Yale (2-6, 1-4) failed to move the ball effectively, totaling just 22 yards passing and zero first downs through the air for the game.
