For those who have Sirius Radio, Saturday's Yale/Dartmouth game will be aired on channel 130 with the Dartmouth crew of Bob Lipman and Wayne Young handling the duties. WELI-960, as always, will be broadcasting the game as well with Rob Vaccaro and former Yale coach Carm Cozza on the call.
There wasn't much more off Thursday's practice worth reporting. Yale coach Tom Williams said he had yet to name a starting kicker but was impressed by the efforts of starter Alex Barnes and Philippe Panico. Williams reopened the competition following last week's fiasco when a field goal, punt and extra point were all blocked.
The one position where there will be a change is at center because a knee injury is sidelining starter Jake Koury. Jeff Fell will start in his place and is the focus on my advance to the game. Defensive end Matt Battaglia is also expected to miss the game with a knee injury but team captain Tom McCarthy will be back after missing the last two games with a calf strain.
Starting quarterback Patrick Witt injured his throwing hand in Saturday's loss to Albany but he threw the ball pretty well at the portion of practice I was at on Thursday. If he is limited at all, Yale has a pretty nice Plan B as reserve quarterback Brook Hart threw for 390 yards against Dartmouth last season.
Good morning,
ReplyDeleteAs a big and long time Yale Football fan who has been reading the Register for many years I can finally say I have had it with the coverage or lack of that the paper and this site gives to Yale Football.
I don't care if you give UConn all the press if you also support not only Yale but the other New Haven area colleges.
I noticed that some Dartmouth press releases asked why the Register did not send a reporter to the Yale game so it is just not me that does not get it but I guess it is all about money.
I will no longer look forward to reading the N.H. Register sport page like I use to.
Regards
A. Goodhue
