Extra Points

The season is over but the hits just keep on coming. From a story about the Penn program in today's Daily Pennsylvanian:
Programs stuck in neutral will have a hard time shifting gears without an honest look at what is wrong with the status quo, and the only time that sober assessment can be made is in the offseason.

If you want an example, look no further than Dartmouth. I will bet cash money that coach Buddy Teevens will not lose his job after this season even though the Big Green went 0-10, their first winless season since 1883, when they went 0-1. I'd be equally willing to bet that their situation will not improve appreciably next year. Shocker.
In addition to Colgate's Dick Biddle, Brown coach Phil Estes is a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award for the top coaching job in the FCS this year. The Sports Network has the full story.

RC Willenbrock, the talented kicker and lacrosse player from Cherry Creek High School in Englewood, Colo., has made a "solid verbal" commitment to Dartmouth, according to this Rivals.com post. Here's what kicking guru Chris Sailer had to say about Willenbrock:
RC is a tremendous talent. He has a huge leg and unlimited potential. Perhaps the strongest leg in the class of 2009. D1A kicker without a doubt.
A Rocky Mountain News story last September said: "...(A)nyone who has seen Cherry Creek's R.C. Willenbrock boot it off the tee knows he belongs in any discussion of the state's strongest legs." ...
