Junior quarterback Alex Jenny completed 29-of-48 passes for a career-best 343 yards and Phil Galligan caught 10 balls for 146 yards in a game that was tied at 20-20 midway through the fourth quarter.
Dartmouth had a chance to take the lead when it drove from its own 35 to the Raiders' 4 early in the fourth quarter only to have a 21-yard field goal attempt blocked. Even after Colgate responded with a touchdown that gave the Raiders a 27-20 lead with 7:27 remaining, Dartmouth wasn't finished. The Big Green marched from its own 15 to the Colgate 17 before the drive bogged down with just over four minutes remaining. A late Raider touchdown made the final a deceptive 34-20.
Allen Lessels' blog in the Manchester Union Leader has an update on the two UNH players who tormented their cross-state rivals for what seemed like, oh, six or seven years. Former New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos is back with the Montreal Alouettes, battling for a roster spot. David Ball, his record-setting wide receiver, has signed with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats after a stint in Montreal last year. Ball has also spent time on the practice squads of the Chicago Bears and New York Jets.
The Daily Dartmouth has a story about the latest Wearers of the Green celebration in Boston. From the story:
The distinction was not limited to athletes from traditional varsity sports, as teams as diverse as rugby, figure skating, Ultimate Frisbee and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu were represented.Jake Novak over at the Roar Lions Roar blog has a post about his "Top 5 Least Favorite Lion Records." If there's one thing I learned in the newspaper business, it's the merits of stealing a good idea and then making it your own. With a nod to Jake, I'll have my own list of Dartmouth football records that need to be broken tomorrow. ;-)
And finally, it dropped to 31 degrees last night here on the mountain. Thursday's high could be 85 degrees. Ah, spring in Northern New England.
