Dartmouth-Yale: Another Look

The Daily Dartmouth's take on the loss to Yale is here.

The New Haven Register game story is here. The Register also has a follow out of the game.

A Palm Beach Post columnist opines about Yale playing the quarterback and tailback who got in trouble last week:

I'm all for waiting until the defendants have their day in court before handing out the final punishment. But these players needed to be suspended for at least one game. Heck, even the big-time football factories have that rule. Not a smart move for a university known for producing brilliant students.

Princeton's 4-0 football team has fooled a lot of people including this writer from the Daily Princetonian. Like many others -- present company included -- he thought rebuilding an entire offensive line was going to make winning tough. He notes: " Going into the game against Colgate, senior quarterback Jeff Terrell had only been sacked twice, second-least in the Ivy League." Another story in the Princetonian quotes coach Roger Hughes, the former Dartmouth offensive coordinator: "This year we've had the ball bounce our way. Over the last seven years we've had the ball not bounce our way a little bit, so things are kind of evening out."

From the Columbia Spectator: "Four games into this year's football season, the Ivy championship race may be up in the air, but there's no doubt that this is the weakest crop of quarterbacks in recent history." (The story has a quick and positive mention of Josh Cohen, the Dartmouth QB out of school this fall.)

Don't get too excited over Columbia's 3-1 start. In Saturday's 24-0 win over Division I-AA pretender Iona, the Spectator notes, "The Lions continued to struggle offensively as the defense outscored the offense, posting 14 of the team's 24 points and accounting for all of the game's second-half scoring."
