Not that there's much to be learned from a game story in a college newspaper, but in case you are curious, the Brown Daily Herald has a story about the Bears' overtime win at Columbia Saturday HERE.
• Punter Davis Golick: Career-best 46.5 yards per punt with a long of 53.
• Quarterback Nick Howard: 108 yards rushing, three TDs on the ground to break Dartmouth career record.
• Defensive back Leonard St. Gourdin: Team-high six tackles, forced and recovered fumble to stop Cornell deep in Dartmouth end.
• Kicker Owen Zalc: 42-yard field goal, two kickoff touchbacks.
"We did a thing last spring where I asked everybody to write down the one person you would want to pack your parachute," said (head coach Sammy) McCorkle. "I would say 80 percent of the team said Josh Greene. That's the effect he has on the team. People trust him, they listen to him and they believe in him.
