Saturday Roundup

The New Haven Register game story on Dartmouth's 34-7 loss to Yale Saturday says the game was played "before a sparse 7,411 at Memorial Field." If you come from New Haven, clearly, 7,411 is sparse. If you come from Hanover, it's actually a pretty good crowd for a non-Homecoming game.

The Register has a sidebar about Yale quarterback Ryan Fodor being knocked out of the game in the early going an returning presently to enjoy a solid afternoon.

The Hartford Courant didn't travel but has a "staff reports" story.

Elsewhere among Dartmouth opponents it was ...

Harvard 38, Cornell 17
Cornell had 28 first downs and a 7-minute advantage in time of possession ... and lost.

Holy Cross 41, Brown 34
Get ready for the Crusader air attack next week. Dominic Randolph completed 41-of-54 passes for 430 yards.

Lafayette 13, Columbia 3
Lions manage just 201 yards but play yet another close game against a 4-1 team.

Colgate 27, Princeton 24
Field goal with two seconds left helps Colgate avert overtime.

Penn 27, Georgetown 7
Penn tailback Michael DiMaggio was hurt and carried just four times.

William &, Mary 38, New Hampshire 34
A touchdown pass with 22 seconds left sends Wildcats to their first loss.

And finally, that certain blogger's wife will run the Foliage Five (five-mile race) today in Thetford, Vt. ... Their Hanover High junior daughter ran yesterday at Manhattan as her team finished 10th in a 21-team field of top teams from the Northeast and beyond.
