The following week at Dartmouth, the Lions were without Brackett, and senior quarterback Jerry Bell had to fill the role. Both the offense and defense were helpless against the Big Green, as the Light Blue allowed 426 yards of total offense to its 148. Bell threw two interceptions—both of which were taken by linebacker Bronson Green—as the Lions fell in devastating fashion, 37-0.I don't know if an Ivy League coach has ever written a book about one season but if Columbia coach Pete Mangurian keeps up his blog he'll be off to a heckuva start because he really does give us a terrific look behind the coaching curtain.

Matthew Smiley, an assistant coach for the first two years of Buddy Teevens II, gets a mention on FootballScoop for switching from receivers coach to running backs coach at Charleston Southern, an FCS school in South Carolina.

This doesn't look like the most scientific survey I've ever seen, but no matter how you slice it, it's not good publicity for several Ivy League schools. Elite Daily lists the "most dangerous colleges" for crime and the Ivy League has three schools in the top 10, including the most dangerous. Stuck with the label as most dangerous school in the nation is Penn (with Philly's Temple second). Columbia is ranked third and Harvard eighth.
