UNH Follow Posted

HANOVER -- While the Dartmouth defense struggled against New Hampshire -- who doesn’t? -- the Big Green offense continued to show signs that it is coming of age.

A few numbers:
  • By following the season-opening 28 points against Colgate with 31 against UNH, Dartmouth has scored 28-or-more points in back to back games for the first time since the undefeated 1996 team turned the trick against Yale (40-6) and Cornell (38-21).
  • With four touchdown passes against the Wildcats, Dartmouth now has seven TD throws this year, matching the total for all of last season.
  • A year ago at this time, Dartmouth had 160 rushing yards. This year: 365.
  • Despite playing just one half Saturday, Milan Williams now has 235 yards rushing, more than any running back had a year ago. (Quarterback Mike Fritz led the team with 410 yards.)
  • Dartmouth did not allow a sack for the second week in a row. (An earlier sack by Colgate has been re-categorized as tackle for loss because it was ruled a run.)
  • In two games last year Dartmouth had 480 yards of total offense and 26 first downs. The Big Green has 733 yards of total offense and 43 first downs against the same two foes this year.
