Watch (List) This

Bios on the Dartmouth football web page are being regularly updated this summer. Today: a chosen highlight from the 2012 season taken directly from the another batch of updated bios:

Sophomore offensive lineman Niko Mamula . . . showed promise with the junior varsity on the offensive line

Senior tight end Cole Marcoux . . . converted from quarterback to tight end during the (2013) preseason

Junior wide receiver Ryan McManus . . . recipient of the team’s Doten Award given annually to the sophomore that made the most significant contribution to the success of the squad
The Dartmouth football website has a short piece on tailback Dominick Pierre and receiver Kirby Schoenthaler being named to the CFPA preseason watch lists at running back and kick return respectively. LINK
Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews is the only Ivy Leaguer among the 20 players on The Sports Network's initial 2013 Payton Award Watch list for the top player in the FCS. Interestingly, Mathews is joined on the list by fellow quarterback Gavin McCarney of Colgate.

Mathews and McCarney will square off on Oct. 5 at Cornell's Schoellkopf Field in a game that could see a lot of yards racked up.

Cornell was No. 22 in the nation last year in total offense while finishing 108th of 121 schools in yards allowed. Colgate was No. 4 in total offense and 91st of 121 in yards allowed.
