Watch (Lists)

Thanks to the Patriot League website the entire collection of preseason offensive positional watch lists posted by College Football Performance Awards have been collected on one PDF you can find here.

As noted earlier. Dartmouth's Dom Pierre makes the list at running back. All totaled, there are seven Ivy Leaguers mentioned on the offensive side:

Quarterback 

Jeff Mathews, Cornell 

Running Back 

Dominick PIerre, Dartmouth
Tyler Varga, Yale 

Wide Receiver 

Grant Gellatly, Cornell
Roman Wilson, Princeton 

Tight End 

Hamilton Garner, Columbia
Cameron Brate, Harvard

The Big Green will face two members of the CFPA offensive watch list in non-league action: the Butler tandem of quarterback Matt Lancaster and running back Trae Heeter.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican has a fun story under the headline, Western Mass. hoop legends Henry Payne, Gene Ryzewicz recall their wondrous 1964 season.

When talk gets around to great athletes ever to attend Dartmouth Gene Ryzewicz '68 is always in the conversation. As a football halfback who battled injury throughout his career he averaged 7.5 yards per carry as a sophomore and junior, before switching to quarterback and leading the team in scoring as a senior.

On the baseball field he was an All-America second baseman who still holds the school's all-time record for stolen bases and led the squad both in batting average and RBIs as a senior.

He didn't play basketball at Dartmouth but set a Western Massachusetts tournament record with a 51-point game.

For good measure, the Berkshire Beacon reminds us that as a golfer he competed in the U.S. and British Senior Opens.

Ryzewicz gets a nice mention in a lengthy Sports Illustrated story about the famous 1967 win over Harvard under the headline, Dartmouth's field-goal kicker thought he had lost the game when he missed with a minute to play, but a penalty gave him another chance and Harvard was defeated in a wild battle of Ivy League unbeatens.
