Fresh back from a relaxing week visiting family and friends at Cape Cod, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens sat for a full hour on July 29 to answer questions and offer random thoughts about the summer, the 2008 season and the state of the Big Green football program heading into the fourth year of his second stint at the helm.

On what the prognosticators use to form their opinions:
Outsiders look at our program and they see graduation of the bulk of the offensive line. They see the graduation of the quarterback. The graduation of the top receiver. The graduation of two tight ends. But we are comfortable with the guys that are stepping up. Outsiders don't know how huge the spring was for us.

The fact that a (320-pound guard) Jon Summers was out afforded (junior Alex) Toth and (sophomore) Will Montgomery a much greater opportunity to develop. They got two or three times the repetition that they would have had. The tight end position with (junior) Carroll Papajohn was the same thing. We had a lot of athletic young players who made great strides in the spring and that will help us this season.
