All-BGA Day 12

A look at the best of Dartmouth since BGA came on the scene with the return to Hanover of Buddy Teevens in 2005. A reminder that these are one onlooker's opinions. Your mileage may vary ;-)

OPPOSING TEAM
Harvard’s 10-0 team of 2014 that outscored its Ivy League opponents 228-88 was a strong contender for the top honors as was the ’09 Penn squad that went 8-2 overall but roared through the Ivy League undefeated while outscoring Ancient Eight foes, 173-88.

Not surprisingly there are other Penn and Harvard teams that deserve a mention. More surprising, perhaps is the inclusion of the 2005 Brown team. While it surrendered 218 points it piled up 368 with a steamroller ground attack led by bruising tailback Nick Hartigan.

Ultimately, however, the top honor can be no surprise with last fall’s Princeton team an easy choice.

The 10-0 Tigers outscored their opponents, 470-130, and but for a weird game against Yale on the penultimate weekend of the season would have topped the 400-point mark offensively while lperhaps holding its opponents to double figures.
