The Glove: It’s a start, right?

By David Glovsky, The Dartmouth Staff

Since I have been at Dartmouth, our football team is 5-27. That’s a .156 winning percentage, or bad enough that if you pooled all of the wins into one season, it still would not be enough to win the Ivy League. In contrast, my father, a member of the Class of 1973, saw the Big Green go 32-3-1. But those days are in the past, and now Dartmouth is in the Football Championship Subdivision. More »

Ivy League Football Preview: Dartmouth

By Paul Glenn, The Dartmouth Staff

Last season Dartmouth featured the lowest-scoring offense in the League, and the second-worst in offensive yards. Milan Williams ‘09 has taken over the role of starting tailback in a large way, putting up 179 yards in the opener against Colgate, and Tom Bennewitz ‘08 will again take the helm of the Big Green offense. He started last season at QB before being sidelined for the majority of the year with a chest injury in the opening game against Colgate. Bennewitz has good mobility out of the pocket, and will be working with strong returning receivers, especially at the tight end position. More »

In the wake of the Quakers’ three consecutive Ivy League overtime losses by a total of seven points, the coaches have shaken up the roster in an attempt to rebound in 2007.

By Rachel Orland and Jason Wu, The Daily Princetonian Senior Writers

Princeton lost a number of key seniors from its 2006 Ivy League championship team. Bushnell Cup winner Jeff Terrell’s projected replacement at quarterback, senior Bill Foran, is the biggest change for the offense. A speedy and versatile athlete, Foran has been a sprinter on the University track team for the past three years. More »

Coming off of its best season in a decade, the Columbia football team has some momentum to build on going into 2007. The Lions have 15 starters and 57 letter-winners returning to the squad, and they will be joined by 39 recruits and one transfer for this year’s campaign. More »

Ivy League Football Preview: Harvard

By Brad Hinshelwood, The Crimson Staff

On paper, the Crimson might have the best passing attack in the League. The receiving corps is the deepest in the Ivies, with the return of virtually everyone who caught a pass for Harvard last season, including first team All-Ivy pick Corey Mazza and sophomore Matt Luft. More »

Ivy League Football Preview: Cornell

By Michael Mix, The Cornell Daily Sun Senior Editor

Speed is the name of the game for Cornell as its quick and experienced squad will attempt to improve on its 2006 season, in which the team finished tied for fourth in the Ancient Eight. Now in the fourth season under head coach Jim Knowles ‘87 and with many returning starters, Cornell is poised for a run at the Ivy title. More »
