Green Alert Take: It will be a surprise if Swann doesn't win the award. The shame is that defensive lineman Rocco Di Leo, who had 12.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks and six pass breakups, isn't in New York as well because he belongs there.
Green Alert Take II: Here's the "lede" to the Ivy League press release about the Bushnell award (italics are mine): "For the ninth-straight year, the National Football Foundation & College Football Hall of Fame (NFF) has partnered with the Ivy League to co-host the 2018 Asa S. Bushnell Cup Presentation, presented by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses." It's interesting that a league that doesn't believe its players should take part in postseason football joins up each year with the organization behind the "Granddaddy of Them All."

Jim Hofher, who coached Cornell to its last Ivy League championship, is leaving his role on the Iowa State staff to join the staff of the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football. Hofher spent eight years leading the Cornell program, winning one title and finishing second once, third three times and in the upper division all eight years.
