Saturday Wrap

The Providence Journal's game story on Brown-Dartmouth has been posted here.

A look at Ivy League and Dartmouth opponent results with the Green Alert prediction and a pithy comment or two ...

Yale 27, Princeton 6
The Pick: Yale 35, Princeton 17
It was a 3-3 tie at the half. Princeton's offense has disappeared.

Harvard 23, Pennsylvania 7
The Pick: Harvard 21, Penn 14
Crimson's lead was 7-0 at the break. Ditto for the Penn offense.

Cornell 34, Columbia 14
The Pick: Cornell 35, Columbia 31
Two special teams TDs give Big Red a lift.

Colgate 45, Georgetown 12
The Pick: Colgate 28, Georgetown 14
Jordan Scott runs for 183 yards. It's nice to have a Jordan Scott on your team.

Massachusetts 27, New Hampshire 7
The Pick: UMass 35, UNH 21
UNH's high-octane offense may have run out of octane

Lafayette 31, Holy Cross 21
The Pick: Holy Cross 38, Lafayette 28
The loss to Fordham may have taken a lot out of the Crusaders.

This Week: 5-1
This year: 41-16

Brown's Bobby Sewall is going to get a lot of recognition for what he did against Dartmouth Saturday and rightfully so. Here are the first two items in the New York The Day's Best column read this morning:

JOE GANZ, left, set Nebraska records by throwing for 510 yards and 7 touchdowns, helping the Cornhuskers stop a five-game losing streak with a 73-31 victory over Kansas State.

BOBBY SEWALL The Brown running back rushed for 144 yards and 4 touchdowns, caught 18 passes for 141 yards and threw a touchdown pass in a 56-35 victory against Dartmouth.

Dartmouth linebacker Justin Cottrell gets first mention in a roundup of performances by local players in the Atlantic City Press after he recorded 17 tackles against Brown.

From the 49ers.com:

American Idol’s Paula Abdul makes the call on NFL Network’s NFL Total Access
Featured players include: Titans RB Casey Cramer, Titans LB Ryan Fowler, 49ers LS Brian Jennings, Browns WR Josh Cribbs, Browns DB Brandon McDonald and Browns LB David McMillan.

I have no idea what this is about. Did anyone see it?

After a 14-hour day of blogging, driving, watching, writing and driving, a long and exhausting season is winding down ... but not quite yet. I'll be working up a follow story out of the Brown game this morning and staffing the junior varsity game against Bridgton Academy at noon. If I can get the follow story done in time it will be posted before I head off the mountain and into town. Otherwise, look for both this evening.
