The Daily Pennsylvanian offers something less than an endorsement of Dartmouth's defense by quarterback Robert Irvin heading into tomorrow's game: "We've seen them on tape. We've picked out the spots where we can definitely take advantage of them."
The Daily Dartmouth preview quotes receiver Ryan Fuselier talking about Penn's vulnerability: "Their corners are young, so that's an advantage for our receiving team. That's when my experience comes in, having started three times as many games as this corner has, it really opens up a lot of holes."
The Daily Pennsylvanian takes a swipe at Dartmouth in a lighthearted piece about a sister at Penn and a brother in Hanover: "It's hard to understand - they grew up in the same house, ate the same food, drove the same car - and yet somewhere along the line things went terribly terribly wrong for Jacob. He started rock-climbing, he refused to shower or eat anything but granola, and then he insisted on heading out to Hanover to attend a school with the worst sports program in the country."
The Columbia Spectator points a finger at Dartmouth defensive line, a bit of a surprise considering that there are two fifth-year senior starters back up front: "Penn's offense ... is predicated on a strong rushing attack with Joe Sandberg and, against a weak Big Green line, should be able to easily put enough points on the board to bring down Dartmouth at home."
The Daily Pennsylvanian look around the Ivy League suggests that despite Columbia's 2-0 start, the Lions will have their hands full against 2-0 Princeton: "Two weeks in, the Columbia bakery has run out of cream puffs."
The Daily Princetonian doesn't expect this year's game against the Lions to be as easy as last year's 43-3 win over another 2-0 group of New Yorkers.
The Cornell Sun takes on the Big Red's inability to score despite moving the ball: "“It’s the craziest thing in the world,” said head coach Jim Knowles ’87. “I’ve never seen that before. You’ve got to believe the points are going to come. You can’t lose your head. You can’t flinch in the face of adversity. You just got to stick with the system and believe it’s going to happen.”
The Brown Daily Herald quotes coach Phil Estes as he analyzes what when wrong in the loss to Harvard in the paper's preview of the Bears' game against Rhode Island: "The biggest disappointment for us was that we've always been a very physical football team and we were not very physical on Saturday."
The Yale Daily says the Bulldogs are looking to capitalize on the momentum they build in last week's win over Cornell.
The Harvard Crimson reports that former football captain Matthew C. Thomas was placed on probation after being charged with the assault and battery of his ex-girlfriend.
The New Journal's Delaware Online has this amusing quote regarding the bid by UNH receiver David Ball to surpass Jerry Rice's TD mark tomorrow in Newark: ""We were joking around in the secondary, wondering which one of us was going to be on (ESPN's)'SportsCenter' for giving up the record," Delaware senior safety Garrett Schultz said.
