Brown looks awful

Leigh looks even worse

Yes, Harvard can be stopped. Cornell won't be the ones to do it.

My gut is Princeton was embarrassed that they let Columbia hang around so much and will take it out on Monmouth.

Columbia will win handily against CCSU.

Dartmouth usually finds ways to win against Yale, be it an unexpected blowout or a last-second go-ahead TD.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Brown (-3.5) vs Colgate

Princeton (-3) at Monmouth

Columbia (-16) at Central Connecticut

Harvard (-27.5) vs Cornell

Penn (-18) vs Lehigh

Dartmouth (-7) vs Yale

[Son of Eli]

I would take Cornell and the points.

Well Colgate hasn’t been whitening up anyone’s day here lately

Massey has Brown winning this one, 27-24.

[Ivytalk]

I would take Cornell and the points.

I would as well. That’s bulletin board material for the Big Red. Harvard has had some trouble with Cornell over the years. I think Harvard will win this game, but not by 4 scores.

[caribbeanhen]

Using the eyeball test, Princeton doesn’t appear to be the wild and talented Tiger they were a few years ago. The offense looked caged against Columbia. Will be very interesting too see what happens at Monmouth today.

Yale 3 Dartmouth 0

Yale 3 Dartmouth 0

8 minutes left in the first quarter


These announcers are terrible homers. The replay clearly showed the yale receiver is in and they kept saying he was out.

Yale is not stopping the run

[bulldog10jw]

That was too easy

Dartmouth 7 Yale 3

2:28 left in the first

[bulldog10jw]

As good a passer as Griffin can be, when they really need a 3rd down completion, it's not there.

[bulldog10jw]

Dartmouth 7 Yale 3

end of the first.

Unfortunately, so far, it looks like a repeat of 2018 and 2019

[Son of Eli]

14-3 Dartmouth 2Q. Yale needs to answer.

[bulldog10jw]

Dartmouth 14 Yale 3

13 minutes left in the half.

Doesn't look good

Yale with 4 penalties already

[Son of Eli]

We needed that. Great call. Dartmouth 14-Yale 10 2Q

[bulldog10jw]

Dartmouth 14 Yale 10

10 minutes left in the half

Nice drive with Grooms completing the TD pass

[bulldog10jw]

A wasted drive. Can't have that in a game like this.

[Son of Eli]

Half time stats between Yale and Dartmouth nearly identical with the exception of penalties.

[Son of Eli]

Think they should just stick with O’Connor.

[bulldog10jw]

The defense has stepped up. Can the offense?

[Son of Eli]

Get Grooms out of there.

[Son of Eli]

Reno should have gone for it on 4rh and 2

Happy I was wrong. Short field. Need to punch it in for 7.

Yale 17 Dartmouth 14

2:30 left in the game.

[Son of Eli]

Yale17-Dartmouth 14. 2:34 left. Up to the defense.

[Sader87]

Tough call against the Eli there

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

That was a tough targeting call. The Dartmouth WR took two big shots but I think they were both below the head/neck. It looked like he got the wind knocked out of him, not anything concussion related....

[crusader11]

Bad targeting call.

[bulldog10jw]

Not good

[bulldog10jw]

I'm just hoping for OT now

[Sader87]

Why did Dartmouth call TO there???

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Dartmouth ties it! The refs had a HUGE impact on this ending....

[Sader87]

Yale got screwed....I don't often say that xdrunkyx

[bulldog10jw]

I'll say the same thing I did in 2017. A bad call cost them, but they didn't step up and make a big play after. In 2017 it was a roughing the passer call on 4th and 10 that cost them. Today, it was not being able to answer in OT on either side of the ball.

A bad game to lose because after D scored their two TD's in the first half, Yale outplayed them.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard overcomes 3 turnovers and plays opportunistic D to hold off Cornell, 24-10. The Big Red actually led at the half.

Princeton edges Monmouth on late FG, 31-28.

[DFW HOYA]

I sometimes wonder when the Ivy will go to a seven game, all-league schedule. The lack of interest of (and in) its early opponents seem to be growing.

NESCAC style? If they'll do that, I'll move on to ETSU and as a national generalist. xbawlingx

Warming up quickly, love seeing a team go for it on 4th down

The gut here is that some OOC games next weeks will draw some interest-- Dartmouth v. UNH and Yale v. UConn.

I think this will be a very interesting game. I watched most of the Yale @ Dartmouth game and my main take away was that there is a lot of similarity between the UNH and Dartmouth teams. It should be a good game and I expect to be close. Both offenses try to use the whole width of the field, and while neither team is an offensive power house, both team have enough strength at the skill positions to put points on the board. Both teams use a balance of Rushing and Passing. But the strength of both teams appears to be defense. They both opt for quickness over size on the defensive line and the linebacker positions. Former Dartmouth head coach John Lyons is the UNH defensive coordinator. He has done a very good job with the UNH defense during his 10 year tenure, particularly over the past 5-6 seasons.
