SB Nation has a column headlined FCS week 2 recap: Attrition wins out that has seven bullet points, with one having to do with this week's Dartmouth opponent. From the story (LINK):
#9 Lehigh left no doubt about its place atop the Patriot League on Saturday afternoon with a 44-20 beatdown over new-conference foe #16 William & Mary. The Tribe came in with similar 2-0 record but quickly learned why the Mountain Hawks are the defending league champs.

Here are extended highlight's from No. 8/9 Lehigh's convincing win over No. 16 William & Mary Saturday in Bethlehem, Pa.

With Dartmouth's season starting up, the silly AI-driven game previews purporting to provide insights to the Big Green and its opponents will appear weekly online. Give credit to the Bleacher Nation piece you can find HERE for admitting this:
This content was writter in partnership with DataSkrive. DataSkrive leverages a combination of human expertise, machine learning, and pre-built content libraries to assemble and personalize sports content.
Green Alert Take: It may be the skeptical journalist in me, but I'm curious just how much "human expertise" is involved.

There's also something from Polymarket that had Lehigh at 79 percent and Dartmouth at 43 percent last night. Just now it had Lehigh at 85 percent and Dartmouth at 34 percent. (LINK)
Green Alert Take: Don't ask me. Here's how clueless I am. I looked at those numbers and thought they should add up to 100 percent.
