Dartmouth's highlights against Columbia are a reminder about how talented a quarterback Alex Park is . . . (and surprise, you won't have to turn down the volume on your computer ;-).

The Harvard Crimson story out of the Princeton game (LINK) gives a good sense of the challenge Dartmouth will face with the return of Harvard quarterback Conner Hempel from a back injury. Princeton coach Bob Surace from the story:
“We have free rushers on him, he escapes us and throws a touchdown pass. There’s two or three times he scrambles for first downs. A couple times, I thought he was going to throw into an area where I thought we had him covered, and he held it and pumped the ball and threw it the other way. Credit him, that was probably one of the two finest performances against us.”
Not sure what the other one was ;-)

From a Harvard release about Hempel being named Ivy League co-Offense Player of the Week:
In the victory over the Tigers, Hempel, who had missed the previous four games with an injury, passed for a career-high 382 yards and tied his career-high with 25 completions (25-of-31), as the Crimson posted the largest margin of victory (42) in 107 meetings against Princeton. In addition, Harvard amassed 698 yards of offense, setting a school record. Hempel tossed for three touchdowns (39, 49 and 42 yards) and added two scores on the ground (1, 14 yards).
Hempel, who ran 12 times for 52 yards, finished the game with 434 total yards on 43 attempts, the fifth-most for a single-game in team history. Hempel's 382 passing yards also ranks seventh in the Harvard record books.
