McManus Is Ivy Offensive Player of the Week

No surprise.

From the Ivy League release (LINK):
Dartmouth senior wide receiver Ryan McManus (Mendota Heights, Minn.) had a career day in the Big Green's 38-31 victory at Yale, setting personal highs with 12 receptions and 188 receiving yards to go along with one touchdown grab. McManus' best work came in the second half, which Dartmouth entered trailing by 10 points, hauling in eight passes for 151 yards with three of those catches going for at least 30 yards. His 42-yard gain was the key play during the first touchdown drive of the second half and he snared the go-ahead score on a diving catch in the end zone from 30 yards out. With the score tied at 31 late in the fourth quarter, he made another diving grab for a 40-yard gain to set up the game-winning touchdown. In addition, he returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown in the first half.
Earning a spot on the honor rolle were quarterback Dalyn Williams and linebacker Will McNamara.
