The lede from the Yale Daily News (LINK):A year after Dartmouth blemished the Yale football team’s record with a fourth quarter touchdown, the Bulldogs seemed destined to write a new ending this weekend.
Things were different from a year ago: Yale hosted instead of Dartmouth, quarterback Morgan Roberts ’16 was under center after the graduation of Henry Furman ’14 and the Yale offense entered play as the most proficient scoring attack in all of Division I football.
Yet much to the dismay of the Elis, the result remained the same. Dartmouth (3–1, 2–0 Ivy) left the Yale Bowl the victors yet again, overcoming an early two-possession deficit and leaving the Bulldogs (3–1, 1–1 Ivy) down in the dumps following the 38–31 loss.

Two things to watch for. The Ivy League player of the week (etc.) honors will be announced later today and Dartmouth has a couple of very strong candidates.And when the Top-25 poll comes out will Dartmouth be among the "others receiving votes?"
