Saturday's action involving Dartmouth opponents:
Harvard 59, Holy Cross 24
Jaden Craig completed 19-of-27 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns before taking a well-earned seat at halftime as Harvard (3-0, 1-0) dropped Holy Cross to 0-6 in front of 15,549 at Fitton Field. Harvard, which picked off three passes and recovered a fumble, did all its scoring in the first three quarters.
Lehigh 31, Yale 13
Three turnovers in the second half proved costly for the Bulldogs (2-1, 1-0). Dante Reno threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns but suffered two interceptions in the loss to No. 8/9 Lehigh (6-0, 2-0). The Mountain Hawks ran for 225 yards. Attendance in Bethlehem was 4,364.
Colgate 41, Cornell 21
Garrett Bass-Sulpizio completed 23-of-38 passes for 225 yards and one touchdown and ran for 91 yards and a score, but also had two of the Big Red’s (0-3, 0-1) four interceptions. Trailing 28-6 at the half, Cornell fought back to within 28-21 to start the fourth quarter before Colgate (2-3, 1-0) got a touchdown early in the final period and another with 25 seconds remaining. Attendance at Schoellkopf Stadium was 12,142.
Lafayette 24, Fordham 10
After a scoreless first quarter, the Leopards tallied a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter and another in the third to carry a 21-0 lead into the fourth. Quarterback Gunnar Smith completed 32-of-45 passes for 354 yards with one touchdown and one interception for Fordham (1-5, 1-2) but was sacked five times. Lafayette (4-2, 2-0) held Fordham to 3-of-16 on third down although the Rams were 5-of-5 on fourth. A crowd of 4,020 turned out in Easton.
Central Connecticut 42, Sacred Heart 35 (OT)
Brady Olson threw a career-high four touchdown passes and ran for another score as Central Connecticut (3-3) won in overtime for the fourth time in a row. Olson’s TD pass to Elijah Howard in OT was the gamewinner. Howard finished with 102 yards rushing and 69 yards receiving. The game against in-state rival Sacred Heart (4-2) drew 2,044 to Arute Field.
Villanova 37, New Hampshire 7
New Hampshire quarterback Matt Vezza ran 35 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 7-7 in the first quarter but that would be the offensive highlight for the Wildcats (3-3, 1-1), who managed just 207 yards of total offense. A crowd of 7,302 in Durham saw a balanced Villanova offense (238 yards rushing, 223 passing) pile up 28 first downs to UNH’s 13.

EXTRA POINT
We are in the midst of a pretty severe drought ,and have had some very hot days, but for some reason my lawn is starting to "green up" again. I haven't mowed since we got back from our Route 66 adventure more than a month ago, and yet it's starting to look as if I might have to break out the lawn tractor one more time to clean up a few areas that are starting to look a little shaggy.
