The Georgetown Voice has a game recap HERE. The Dartmouth Sports Weekly unaccountably has a picture from a night game against Penn on the cover and just seven sentences about football in an eight-page edition. (LINK)

A couple of interesting tidbits from Craig Haley at STATS:Ivy League teams are always the final college football teams to begin their season, but they started fast once again with a 5-3 record. While defending Ivy champ Yale fell in overtime to Holy Cross, Harvard beat defending Pioneer Football League champ San Diego 36-14 and Columbia posted a 41-24 road win over defending Northeast Conference champ Central Connecticut State.And . . .
San Diego's first three results are just like last season: beat Western New Mexico at home, lose at UC Davis and cross the country to fall to an Ivy League team - Princeton last year and Harvard this season. The problem is, the Toreros don't appear as strong as a year ago, when they followed the 1-2 start with nine straight wins, including in the first round of the FCS playoffs for the second straight year. They returned only 10 starters after losing plenty of star power and 2017 Pioneer Football League offensive player of the year Anthony Lawrence already has thrown one more interception (four) than last season.

To borrow from Sports Illustrated, here's a Sign of the Apocalypse. The 21-second video below is what the Ivy League posted as a 2018 Season Preview. Dartmouth Football. Big Green Coach Buddy Teevens does his usual fine job promoting his program, but . . .THIS IS NOT A SEASON PREVIEW
Green Alert Take: Caution – the gloves are coming off. The abandonment of any semblance of a media day, the self-congratulating preseason coaches infomercial, game notes impossible to find (if they were even done), a bollixed Ivy League football media guide and the video above offered as a season preview combine to suggest one of two things. Either there needs to be an intervention at the Ivy League office or they care an awful lot about kickoff rules and concussions and tackling and the PR surrounding all of that and not one whit about Ivy League football itself. End rant.
