Opponent Watch ...

Capsule stories, stats and quick observations on how Dartmouth opponents fared Saturday:

Marist 14, Bucknell 3
Bison offense continues to struggle badly with six first downs and 159 net yards against a team Sacred Heart put 28 points and 456 yards on in a 28-25 road win one week ago. Daily Item game story and official Bucknell Sports Information story.

Robert Morris 35, Sacred Heart 31
Pioneers used a 47-yard touchdown pass with 2:06 remaining to go in front 31-28 but coughed up the lead with 17 seconds left. Dale Fink passed for 324 yards and four touchdowns in the loss. A Sacred Heart run game that accumulated 227 yards last week netted 10 against RMU.

UMass 31, Holy Cross 7
Defense was supposed to be the Crusaders' strength but UMass built a 31-0 lead at the half and finished with 525 yards.

And of lingering interest ...
Furman 45, Colgate 15
Nate Eachus ran for 134 yards but Furman backs ground out 377.
