Week Five Dartmouth opponent Central Connecticut was picked to finish next-to-last in the Northeast Conference in a story written by Craig Haley for The Analyst. He sees the NEC this way:
1. Duquesne
2. Robert Morris
3. Saint Francis
4. Stonehill
5. LIU
6. Central Connecticut
7. Wagner
n/a Mercyhurst
Haley writes of Central Connecticut (LINK):
Central Connecticut State (3-8, 1-6) – There’s potential for a jump in the standings due to returning starters, especially RB Elijah Howard (1,155 yards and six TDs from scrimmage) and safety Kimal Clark, the NEC’s preseason defensive player of the year. Like that pair, 6-foot-7, 330-pound offensive lineman Isaiah DeLoatch, LB Jayden Anderson and place-kicker Jack Barnum were named to the All-NEC preseason team. Former (UMass) QB Brady Olson has transferred in as well.
Olson completed 181-of-372 passes for 1,936 yards with 10 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in two-plus years at UMass. (He appeared in just one game last fall.) He had three touchdown passes against Boston College in his collegiate debut as a freshman. Central Connecticut also features transfers from UNLV, Stony Brook, Maine and several junior colleges.

EXTRA POINT
On the five-minute drive to my hiking trail I pass a scene that to my eye looks like it belongs on a jigsaw puzzle. The fellow who lives there for some reason occasionally parks his old pickup in front of the house and when I saw that yesterday I thought to snap this picture. Unfortunately, the mountains looming behind the house – part of which has been standing since 1796 – washed out in this pic.
