However, Brown would go on to be outscored 15-0 in the final frame.
After Brown’s opening possession of the fourth quarter lasted just over two minutes, the Big Green took the ball and drove down the field to the Bears nine-yard line.
Dartmouth quarterback Derek Kyler connected with Drew Estrada for a touchdown to make the score 23-21 Brown after the extra point.
The Bears offense got the ball back, but this time went four-and-out, taking up just 1:26 of time.
On Dartmouth’s ensuing possession, the Big Green drove to the Brown 39-yard-line where Kyler connected with Estrada again for a touchdown, this time a 39-yard pass to give the Big Green a 29-23 lead after the extra point.
It was only the second time that Dartmouth held the lead all game.
Brown drove deep into Dartmouth territory in the waning moments of the game, but Dartmouth's Isiah Swann ended the game with an interception when Perry's pass went off the hands of a Brown receiver in the end zone to seal the win.
Perry Sets Single-Season Total Offense Record
In the game, Perry shattered the Ivy League single-season record for total offense after accumulating 414 total yards against the Big Green.
His 3,678 total yards eclipsed the previous Ivy League record of 3,553 yards by Princeton's Chad Kanoff in 2017.
