Looking Back at Yale

Greetings from the Lewiston, Maine area ...

The Daily Dartmouth writes about Saturday's 38-7 loss at Yale. Sophomore quarterback Conner Kempe, who replaced the injured Alex Jenny, is quoted:

“I think we were just outplayed and out-physicalled and out-everythinged. We were ready, but they came with more than we were expecting.”

The Yale Daily News writes about the Dartmouth game:

The Elis dominated almost every facet of the contest, but what stood out was the passing game.

Quarterback Brook Hart ’11 made his first start of the season and had the best performance of his collegiate career, going 28-for-40, including three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Hart’s 390 yards represent the sixth highest total that a Bulldog quarterback has ever thrown in a single game.

The Daily Pennsylvanian has an Ivy League roundup and The Sports Network writes about the resurgence at Columbia.

In response to an article in the Daily D last week suggesting the Big Green employ an option offense, a writer offers The Five Reasons A Triple-Option Offense Is a Terrible Idea.

The D has a story about the Dartmouth band not marching so far this season that says the decision not to march was made by the band, and that marching is in the future. That seems to contradict what the band narrator said at Penn but so be it. From the story:

In recent years, (band general manager Nate) Caron '10 said, the band had strayed a little from its musical center. This year, he said, the band felt that it was important to make sure that it was fully prepared to march before getting on the field, citing some “difficulties” in past years.
