Lions coach Al Bagnoli is quoted on the performance of Dartmouth quarterback Jack Heneghan stepping in this for Dalyn Williams:
“It’s a little bit surprising because they graduated a four-year starter, and the other guys really didn’t have a lot of snaps. (Heneghan) really has done a nice job in a short period of time. … It’s a little bit better than I would have thought if you would have asked me this five weeks ago.”On Dartmouth's young defense:
“(They) don’t have 500 or a thousand snaps under their belt like the other kids did. They’re not quite as seasoned, but they’re athletic kids."
On the Big Green as a whole:
“They were a whole different team last year. It’s a little bit of apples to oranges … but the common denominator is (that) they have good players.”Find the full Specator story HERE.

The Spec also has an oral-history type story about Columbia's last Homecoming win. It's kind of mind boggling that it was way back in 2000 when the Lions blew by Dartmouth, 49-21. Find that story HERE.
