With the preseason game against Harvard in the books – and having seen it, that's what it was, a preseason game, not a scrimmage – Dartmouth now turns its attention to Middlebury for a junior varsity game this afternoon against the Midd varsity. Visit Green Alert Premium for full coverage of the Middlebury game tonight.
I remember clearly marveling at the leg of the Panthers' kicker during the game against Middlebury several years ago. Turns out, Steve Hauschka graduated, played at North Carolina State as a grad student, and was a late cut by the Minnesota Vikings. He signed with the Baltimore Ravens (link) only to be cut last week.
The Yale Daily News earlier this week had a quick look at ballyhooed freshman running back Alex Thomas, who ran for 518 yards and seven touchdowns in one game at his tiny Connecticut high school and finished with state records of 8,279 rushing yards, 114 touchdowns and 747 points.
Game 2 opponent UNH opens league play today against Rhode Island. The Sports Network predicts a 45-13 win for the Wildcats, who had no trouble with Army last week. ... The Manchester Union Leader also has a preview. ... Opening-game foe Colgate plays host to Furman this afternoon in what should be a tough game.
Late sports information director Kathy Slattery Phillips will be honored posthumously with the ECAC Commissioners Award in Albany. (link) She worked in the college sports information office from 1977 until her passing last November at age 55.
