More On Yale And The Ivy Wrap

A little more background on the Yale players changing a play call to get the senior fullback who helps pave the way for Mike McLeod his first career touchdown in Saturday's 50-10 win over Dartmouth can be found in the Hartford Courant. The story said the touchdown was "a reward for all his crushing blocks that have helped Mike McLeod's assault on Yale's record book. McLeod, along with Yale quarterback Matt Polhemus, helped call the play that got Fuccillo the ball."

That's a nice story from the Yale end. It's not so nice from the Dartmouth end that the Bulldogs were in position to do that kind of thing.
