HANOVER -- Dartmouth’s 271 yards rushing against Columbia Saturday was made even more remarkable by the fact that season-rushing leader Milan Williams never left the sidelines.
Williams, who had 179 yards in the opener against Colgate, was held out as a safety precaution.
“He was cleared to play,” Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens said. “He just got banged up a little on Tuesday at practice, which obviously I’d prefer not to have happened. It was, ‘If we need you, we’re going to go with you.’
“(Holding Williams out) was the prudent thing to do and the other guys were performing well. We feel comfortable with all those guys. They all have the ability to move the football for us.”
Junior tailback Nate Servis ran for a career-high 130 yards, sophomore tailback Rob Mitchelson had 105 and short-yardage specialist Hudson Smythe bulldozed his way to three touchdowns as the Big Green registered its highest single-game rushing total in more than a decade.
