“Dartmouth is in the same spot as us right now, despite being 0-3. If we lose this game, we’re pretty much out of the Ivy League hunt, and if Dartmouth loses, they’re out. We have to come ready to play.”The Daily Princetonian takes a look around the Ivies and says this of Dartmouth:
The team showed some resiliency in its match against heavily favored Penn, playing to a 7-7 tie at halftime.Given that they were home, you can presume the Quakers were probably favored in a battle of teams looking for their first win. (That despite Dartmouth winning last year's matchup.) But "heavily" favored?
Missed this earlier, but the Daily Pennsylvanian has a short, understandably Penn-centric video recap of Saturday's game here.

Being honored at halftime of the Dartmouth-Yale game is the 1958 Ivy League championship Big Green team. Former Dartmouth sports information director Jack DeGange chronicles that season here. ... One of the members of that team who took the road less traveled after graduation is David Bathrick '59, a 217-pound lineman who became The Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Theatre, Film and Dance, and professor of German studies at Cornell. Bathrick was profiled by the Cornell Chronicle last year in story under the headline, Raconteur David Bathrick closes a Cornell career and prepares to return to Germany.
Improved defense has been a key for the Cornell football team in this year's 3-0 start. Defensive coordinator Clayton Carlin tells the Daily Sun:
“The biggest thing is that we’ve greatly simplified things. If it’s simple, the guys can play faster, play harder and play more physically.”Sounds, um, simple enough.
