HANOVER -- “I want to remind you one final time about what happened the last time they played on this field.”

Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens and Princeton coach Roger Hughes could start their pregame pep talks before Saturday’s finale between their two teams with the exact same exhortation.

For Hughes, it would be warning his team that when Dartmouth played Cornell two weeks ago the Big Green piled up 59 points, quarterback Tom Bennewitz tossed four touchdown passes and Brian Evans and Tim McManus combined for 315 receiving yards on just 11 catches.

For Teevens, it would be a history lesson for his team about what happened when Princeton invaded Memorial Field two years ago and limited Dartmouth to 89 yards of offense and six first downs in a 30-0 contest that was anything but a contest.
