Surprised Dartmouth did not score more points with 700 yards of offense

Sader 1970 your doing the coin toss every game now? Gave the team good luck from the start!
HC this year responds well after a loss. Dominating win. Georgetown I don’t know what to say. The refs did their best to help the Hoyas.
Nice start to PL play 1-0

Dartmouth beat UNH 38-21. Fordham nearly 700 yards of offense, split evenly between passing and rushing. Lafayette -24 yards rushing against the Crimson. Probably sacks more than anything else. They count against rushing yardage in college, not in the pros. That's an impressive Dartmouth win (and it was 24-7 at the half). UNH gave JMU all it could handle a couple weeks ago.

Nice statement win for Dartmouth. UNH was a little overrated IMO coming into this one but Dartmouth showed their a Top 25 team. I thought that perhaps the Big Green were a little overrated as well but they proved me wrong with today's performance.
Ivy should be an interesting battle between Harvard, Dartmouth and Princeton. Wouldn't surprise me to see 2, or even all 3, earn a share of the Ivy League title this season.

CAA is interesting. JMU barely escaped Durham with a W but then was upset at home by Nova last week.

Dartmouth beat UNH 38-21. Fordham nearly 700 yards of offense, split evenly between passing and rushing. Lafayette -24 yards rushing against the Crimson. Fordham QB Tim DeMorat passed for 6 touchdowns… in the first half. They rested him (and his arm) on the bench the second half. Fordham then went conservative and still scored on TD runs of 39, 60, and 45 yards. The game was not nearly as close as the 66-21 final score indicates.

View AttachmentCross, Mortified my wife when introduced to the ref I said, "OK, ref, just call the game fair!" The ref smiled but the other official to the back gave a big laugh. View Attachment good job sader!

The rug looks to be in terrible condition. The glare off the rug was so bad I thought I was watching a broadcast from the '90's. Better bring the right footwear.

From what I can see, Coffey Field was resurfaced in 2014. Your description would indicate it's poorly maintained or wore out somewhat prematurely (typically these things last 10-12 years).
Glare's a problem even with some of the newer ones.

And what was the condition of the surface at Fitton yesterday?
......Purrrrrfect!

Recognize it is way too early. Looking ahead can be dangerous. However this is merely a comment board with no impact on anything. FU is loaded. Strong tough lines. A high flying offense led by the best player in the PL. Their strength in the passing game matches up well for them against HC. Unless HC is able to mount an effective pass rush, it could be a long, disappointing day at Coffey for the Crusaders.

No question DeMorat is the real deal but as for best player in the PL, it may just be my purple-tinted shades but I kind of lean toward Jacob Dobbs though QBs because of their higher visibility tend to get the nod over any defensive player.
Fortunately, football is one the ultimate team sports so even though Fordham has a QB better than either of our guys (who, let's not forget, are just sophomores), I believe we have the overall better team.
That said, we need to play well on all phases of the game to win in the Bronx.
My theory on Merrimack was that we happened to catch a solid but not great team when they had a great game - especially their QB, who IMO was the best QB we've seen on any team this year - and we have a very, very good team who had an off day. Can't have that against either Fordham or Lafayette.

If we overlook Lafayette it would be at our peril! That has happened in the past. Both the Pards and Fordham will take spring performances, especially by our defense, but the offense will need to score early and often. IMHO, a slow start could mean a loss for HC in either game.

Colgate is next and their defense stepped it up in the second half vs Cornell. One win at a time!

Colgate is 2-0 in the PL and have scored more points in each of their five OOC games than the one before. With HC coming off a cake walk in their only PL game and the hype surrounding the first ever FB game at a sold out Polar Park growing during the week, it reminds me a little of when Merrimack followed the giddiness of upsetting FBS UConn.

Bite your tongue! Of course, I feel much the same way and want to see a big win on Saturday. That is on this coming Saturday and every one after that!

I love this stuff. It makes me want to leave Riverdale in NYC and move to sunny Worcester. But...

Two maidens broken yesterday: Jack Coulson, a junior, and Jacob Peterson, a freshman, had the first pass receptions of their careers.

I saw the FU QB pick apart SBU in person a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed. (Yes, SBU is down this year but they are pretty quick on D and did beat Delaware yesterday).

We were preseason favorite... are we now?... too early to speculate?

Early wins against UConn & Yale were great. Losses to Merrimack & Harvard were worrisome as they exposed flaws. A blowout against a weak (Div.11?) Georgetown is meaningless. I get it. A win is a win. But HC should be satisfied with nothing less than a championship. There are no roses for a second place finish. No pat on the back, nice game, tough loss BS will suffice. IMHO HC has to up its game for the team to beat the 'Pards & Rams and win the championship. No excuses. Complaining about the refs is losers' talk. We play against the team on the field not the refs. Win or go home. Man up! Period! Nothing else matters. ( Obviously, putting academic integrity & all that kind of stuff asid.) Kick butt. You play to win the game. Win, darn it or go home. GoCrossGo!

OK, had no effect on the game yesterday but caused us to use a timeout.
Play clock is running and an official was putzing around. We've got the ball and ready to hike the ball but can't do it because the official is standing between the center and our QB (think it was Sluka at the time) all the while the play clock running down and official finally gets out of the way with no more than 2-3 seconds left and Chesney has to call a timeout.
I probably just don't pay as much attention as I should but it seems that the officials are doing this more and more this year - not just to us on offense - but all teams, where the official literally stands between the center and QB preventing the ball from being snapped. That's fine if the play clock not running but that's not the case.
Someone please educate me.
