Thanks to David Ball's assault on Jerry Rice's TD record, there are a ton of stories out of the Dartmouth-UNH game. Most are Ball-centric and have little Dartmouth angle at all. A couple that do:

The Manchester Union Leader (“I think our guys finally settled in,” Teevens said. “We’re not playing the Patriots. . . . Obviously, that’s a very, very gifted football team that we played. To see a top-ranked team like that, you’d rather watch them on TV than line up against them sometimes, but to see my guys finish the way they did certainly bodes well for the future.”)

The Boston Globe (For Dartmouth, the defeat at least gave it something to build on as it heads into its league schedule. ``Penn and some of the Ivy League teams are going to get a big surprise when they play us," said (wide receiver Ryan) Fuselier.)

The New York Times' Ivy roundup starts with Harvard's big win over Brown.
