Craig Haley at STATS writes about seven FCS teams seeking to rebound in 2019. Dartmouth is familiar with two of them but plays just one in the coming fall – Yale.Here's the STATS overview of the Bulldogs and why you can expect they will be one of the Ivy League favorites next season:
YALE 2018 Record: 5-5, 3-4 Ivy
What Went Wrong: A losing record in the Ivy League was stunning for the defending champion. The Bulldogs had injury issues, including to quarterback Kurt Rawlings and running back Zane Dudek, the league's leading rusher and scorer in 2017, and were minus-11 in turnover margin.
Possible 2019 Rebound: That Rawlings has to compete with Griffin O'Connor, the 2018 Ivy rookie of the year, and Dudek with Alan Lamar, who made the All-Ivy first team, underscores the great depth in the lineup. They're only replacing one starter.The other team included in the story actually provides the lede – New Hampshire, which saw its streak of 14 consecutive trips to the NCAA playoffs snapped with a 4-7 record after losing its starting quarterback in the first game of the season against Maine.
Also included in the story is Lehigh, which will try to rebound from a 3-8 record in the fall under new coach and former Dartmouth defensive coordinator Tom Gilmore.

Dartmouth is slated to begin its second week of "spring" football this afternoon. It's supposed to be 39 degrees with a 75 percent chance of rain at 5 p.m. when the session is slated to start. One of the nice things about the spring is because there are no games and practices are slated just three times a week, the coaches can reschedule if they so choose. Check the BGA Premium alternate site tonight for a story if they do hit the field.
