Picking up where we left off yesterday, here are the most experienced quarterbacks returning for each non-conference team Dartmouth will face in 2012 (with their class next fall):
Sacred Heart
Junior Tim Little completed 206-of-356 passes (57.9 percent) for 2,200 yards, 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season. Classmate Luke Wischnowski, who battled Little for the starting job through camp and early in the season, finished 15-for-29 (51.7 percent) for 136 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Neither was a factor on the ground.
Holy Cross
No quarterback other than the graduating Ryan Taggart took a snap last year for the Crusaders. But Holy Cross still has experience returning under center in senior Kevin Watson. In 2010 he completed 42-of-74 passes (56.8 percent) for 375 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for 70 yards. Listed as the backup heading into spring football is junior Max Librizzi, a junior from Vermont whose sister Jamie was a Dartmouth women's basketball captain.
Butler
The Bulldogs graduated Andrew Huck, who completed 65.4 percent of his throws for 2,241 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Bidding to step in will be sophomore Wade Markley, who hit 25-of-36 passes (69.4 percent) for 301 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions last fall. Junior Tom Judge was 25-of-51 last year (49.0 percent) for 284 yards with three touchdowns, three interceptions and 102 rushing yards. The wild card for Butler is former Indiana all-state choice Matt Lancaster, a transfer from Illinois State with two years of eligibility. In two years at ISU he completed 34-of-48 passes (70.8 percent) for 311 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also ran for 148 yards and one touchdown. He was considered a Big 10 recruiting prospect before landing at Illinois State.
